Determine the corrections or otherwise of the following Assertion and Reason : Assertion : Supersonic flight is very difficult with pylon mounted external weapon carriage. Reason: External weapon carriage will experience minimum drag at supersonic speeds. and are true and is the correct reason for b) Both and are true but is not the correct reason for c) is true but is false d) is false but is true Correct Answer A

External weapon carriage system experiences more drag as compared to other weapon carriage systems. Hence, supersonic flight is virtually impossible for such pylon mounted external weapon carriage. Hence, given assertion is correct however, the reason is false.
