Assertion (A): A supercritical aerofoil eliminates supersonic flow over its upper surface.

Reason (R): A supercritical section has a relatively flat upper surface.

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. The flat crest does not prevent the supersonic pocket; it keeps the local Mach number modest over a long run so the shock that closes the pocket is weak. The section manages supersonic flow rather than avoiding it.
