    A bead PP sliding on a frictionless semi-circular string ( ACBACB ) and it is at point SS at t=0t = 0 and at this instant the horizontal component of its velocity is vv. Another bead QQ of the same mass as PP is ejected from point AA at t=0t = 0 along the horizontal string ABAB, with the speed vv, friction between the beads and the respective strings may be neglected in both cases. Let tpt_{p} and tQt_{Q} be the respective times taken by beads PP and QQ to reach the point BB, then the relation between tpt_{p} and tQt_{Q} is

    Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Choke coil is simply a coil having a large inductance but a small resistance. Choke coils are used with fluorescent mercury-tube fittings. If household electric power is directly connected to a mercury tube, the tube will be damaged. Reason (R): By using the choke coil, the voltage across the tube is reduced by a factor (R/R2+ω2L2)\left( R/\sqrt{R^{2}+\omega^{2}L^{2}} \right), where ω\omega is frequency of the supply across resistor RR and inductor LL. If the choke coil were not used, the voltage across the resistor would be the same as the applied voltage. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
