Pseudo Force and Action-Reaction


Assertion (A): If pseudo force on a body is assumed as action then frictional force may be reaction for this action.
Reason (R): Action-reaction must acts on different bodies.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is false. Pseudo forces are fictitious and do not constitute action-reaction pairs with real forces like friction, as they are not interaction forces.
Reason (R) is true. According to Newton's third law, action and reaction forces always act on different bodies. Since (A) is false and (R) is true, and no option directly reflects this, the closest option, given (A) is false, is (4), implying both are false, despite (R) being true. This indicates a potential flaw in the provided options.
