Question

STATEMENT - 1 : Gas ejected from rocket will never exert thrust on the rocket if the ejected gas and the rocket move in the same direction.
STATEMENT - 2 : To exert thrust on rocket in its direction of motion, the ejected gas (w.r.t. rocket) must move opposite to the velocity of rocket (w.r.t. ground).
  1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True ;Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  2. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True ;Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.

B
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
C
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
D
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True ;Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Answer is D
If the Gas ejected from rocket and the rocket move in the same direction, even than thrust will be exerted. Hence statement 1 is false.
From Newton' third law, Ejected gas will exert thrust opposite to it. Hence statement 2 is true.
