Assertion (A): There are two tidal bulges rather than one on the Earth.
Reason (R): The tide generating force is a difference, so it points outward on both sides.

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

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the cause, and this is why most coasts see two high waters a day. A simple attraction argument would predict only one bulge and one high water daily. The observed semidiurnal tide requires the difference form.
