Assertion: An earthquake will not cause uniform damage to all building in an affected area, even if they are built with the same strength and materials. Reason: The one with its natural frequency close to the frequency of seismic wave is likely to be damaged less.

Assertion: An earthquake will not cause uniform damage to all building

1.	Assertion: An earthquake will not cause uniform damage to all building in an affected area, even if they are built with the same strength and materials. Reason: The one with its natural frequency close to the frequency of seismic wave is likely to be damaged less.
Answer» If both assertion and reson are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. If assertion is true but reason is false. If both assertion and reason are false. Solution :An earthquake will not cause UNIFORM damage to all building in an affected area because the natural frequencies of ABUILDING depend on its height and other size parameters and the nature of building materials. The one with its natural FREQUENCY close to the frequency of seismic wave is likely to be DAMAGED more.
