A mass M is tied to the top of two identical poles of height H using massless strings of equal length. The mass is at height h above the ground at equilibrium. If the distance between poles is L the tension in each string will be

• $\frac{\mathrm{Mg} \sqrt{{\left({\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}}\right)}^2 + {\left( \mathrm{H} - \mathrm{h} \right)}^2}}{2 \left(\mathrm{H} - \mathrm{h}\right)}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{Mg} \sqrt{{\mathrm{L}}^2 + {\mathrm{H}}^2}}{2 \left(\mathrm{H} - \mathrm{h}\right)}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{Mg} \sqrt{{\mathrm{L}}^2 + {\mathrm{H}}^2}}{2 \mathrm{H}}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{Mg} \sqrt{{\mathrm{h}}^2 + {\mathrm{L}}^2}}{2 \mathrm{L}}$

Assertion:  Use of ball bearing between two moving parts of a machine is a common practice. 

Reason:  Ball bearing reduces rolling friction and provides good stability.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. 

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion:  A judo fighter in order to throw his opponent on to the mat tries to initially bend his opponent and then rotate him around his hip. 

Reason:  As the mass of opponent is brought closer to the fighter's hip, the force required to throw the opponent is reduced.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.
