NEET Physics Question - Solid and Fluids - Surface Tension and Viscosity

Assertion (A): A raindrop after falling through some height attains a constant velocity.

Reason (R): At constant velocity the viscous drag plus buoyant force is just equal to its weight.

(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Assertion (A) is true, as falling objects in a fluid reach terminal velocity when resistive forces balance gravity.

Reason (R) is true, stating the force balance condition for constant velocity: Weight = viscous drag + buoyant force. (R) correctly explains (A).
