Assertion (A): In anti-friction bearings, the frictional resistance is very low as the shaft held by it remains in floating
condition by the hydrodynamic pressure developed by the lubricant. [IES-2006]
Reason (R): In hydrodynamic journal bearings, hydrodynamic pressure is developed because of flow of lubricant in a
converging -diverging channel
(a) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
