Question

Action and reaction act on

A.

Same body and in same direction

B.

Same body but in opposite direction

C.

Different bodies but in same direction

D.

Different bodies but in opposite direction

Correct option is D


According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, action and reaction forces act on different bodies but in opposite directions. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one body exerts a force on another, the second body exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first body. These forces do not cancel each other out because they act on different objects.
