Assertion (A): Stagnation pressure is conserved across any adiabatic process.

Reason (R): Stagnation pressure is conserved only where the entropy does not rise.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: D

The assertion is false and the reason is true. Adiabatic is not enough: the process must also be reversible. A shock wave is the standard counter-example, being adiabatic yet strongly irreversible, and it destroys stagnation pressure while leaving stagnation temperature untouched.
