Solution

The assertion and the reason are both correct statements, but they are not directly related to each other.

The assertion is about the behavior of viscous force in a flowing liquid. Viscous force is a type of friction that occurs in fluids. It is directed in the direction of decreasing velocity of the liquid particle. This means that it acts to slow down the faster moving particles, and hence, tries to equalize the velocity of all particles.

The reason is about kinetic friction, which is a type of friction that opposes the relative sliding motion between two surfaces in contact. This is a general property of friction and is not specific to viscous force or fluids.

So, while both statements are true, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.
