Discussion
Assertion (A) : The gravitational potential of a city is determined by the combined impact of centripetal and centrifugal forces.
Reason (R) : Cities are endowed with multifunctional character.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation, according to the key. The gravitational potential of a city is determined by the combined impact of the centripetal forces that attract people and activity and the centrifugal forces that push them out, and cities do have a multifunctional character.
The multifunctional character is a general feature of cities and does not explain how the pull and push forces combine, so the first option, in which the reason explains the assertion, is wrong.
