Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$

Assertion $A$ : A spherical body of radius $(5 \pm 0.1)$ $mm$ having a particular density is falling through a liquid of constant density. The percentage error in the calculation of its terminal velocity is $4\,\%$.

Reason $R$ : The terminal velocity of the spherical body falling through the liquid is inversely proportional to its radius.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below on :

  • [JEE MAIN 2023]
  • A

    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$

  • B

    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

  • C

    $A$ is false but $R$ is true

  • D

    $A$ is true but $R$ is false

The distance $s$ travelled by a particle in time $t$ is $s=u t-\frac{1}{2} \,g t^{2}$. The initial velocity of the particle was measured to be $u=1.11 \pm 0.01 \,m / s$ and the time interval of the experiment was $t=1.01 \pm 0.1 \,s$. The acceleration was taken to be $g=9.8 \pm 0.1 \,m / s ^{2}$. With these measurements, the student estimates the total distance travelled. How should the student report the result?
