Assertion (A): A rocket's thrust does not fall with altitude.

Reason (R): It takes in no atmospheric air and carries its own oxidiser.

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: A

Both statements are true and the second is the reason. With no intake there is no density term and no flight speed term in the thrust equation, which is exactly what makes the rocket usable outside the atmosphere altogether.
