9. Assertion : Two identical solid balls, one of ivory and the other of wet-clay are dropped from the same height on the floor. Both the balls will rise to same height after bouncing. Reason : Ivory and wet-clay have same elasticity.

(a)        If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(b)        If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

(c)        If assertion is true but reason is false.

(d)        If the assertion and reason both are false.

(e)        If assertion is false but reason is true.

Explanation-

(d) Ivory is more elastic than wet-clay. Hence the ball of ivory will rise to a greater height. In fact the ball of wet-clay will not rise at all, it will be somewhat flattened permanently.
