Statements on Projectile Motion

Consider the following two statements and tick the correct answer.
Statement A: In projectile motion, horizontal component of velocity of particle remains constant while its acceleration changes continuously.
Statement B: In projectile motion, particle moves such that its velocity and acceleration both changes continuously.
 
Statement A is correct while statement B is incorrect
Statement A is incorrect while statement B is correct
Both statement A and statement B are correct
Both statement A and statement B are incorrect

Solution:

In projectile motion, acceleration is constant throughout (equal to acceleration due to gravity \(\vec{g}\)). Thus, both statements are incorrect because they claim acceleration changes.
