Assertion: Acceleration in SHM is maximum at extremes. Reason: Restoring force ∝ displacement.
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Assertion true: a = -ω²x, max at max |x|. Reason true: F = -kx (Hooke's law), and F = ma ⇒ a ∝ -x. Reason correctly explains why acceleration peaks at extremes. Memory tip: 'SHM: F ∝ -x ⇒ a ∝ -x'. Assertion-reason testing SHM fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams.

A gas expands at constant pressure. The work done by the gas is given by:
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
For constant pressure (isobaric) process, work done by gas W = PΔV, where ΔV is change in volume. This derives from mechanical work W = F·d and pressure P = F/A, so F = PA, and dV = A·d, thus W = P·dV. Option D Δ(PV) applies to other contexts like enthalpy. Memory tip: 'Isobaric work = P times volume change'. This fundamental thermodynamics result is frequently used in first law applications. Competitive exams often combine this with ideal gas law for numerical problems; always verify process constraints (constant P here).
