Question
Assertion : A cyclist always bends inwards while negotiating a curve.
Reason $\quad$ : By bending, cyclist lowers his centre of gravity.

Answer

(c) The purpose of bending is to acquire centripetalforceforcircularmotion.Bydoingsocomponent of normal reaction will counter balance the centrifugal force.
