Assertion (A): Propulsive efficiency should always be maximised regardless of other considerations.

Reason (R): It approaches unity as the jet velocity approaches the flight velocity.

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 reason is true but it undermines the assertion rather than supporting it. At that condition the velocity increment and therefore the thrust are zero, so a practical cycle deliberately accepts some inefficiency to produce useful thrust.
