Statement I: An aspirator separates chaff from grain because the two have different densities.

Statement II: Terminal velocity depends on the balance between aerodynamic drag and weight.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • B.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • C.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • D.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Answer: A

The reason is correct but density alone does not settle the matter; it is the combination of mass and projected area, expressed as terminal velocity, that the air stream sorts on. Two particles of equal density but different shape separate readily.
