# $\begin{array}{1 1}\text{Given the following 2 statements ,which of the following choices is correct?}\\\text{Statement-1: In a uniform circular motion,the acceleration is always directed towards the centre of the circle.}\\\text{Statement-2: Otherwise the speed of the body moving along the circle will change with time}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{1 1}\text{Statement-1 is true,Statement-2 is true and Statement-2 is the correct explanation for statement-1}\\\text{Statement-1 is true,Statement-2 is true but Statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement-1}\\\text{Statement-1 is true,Statement-2 is false}\\\text{Statement-1 is false,Statement-2 is true}\end{array}$

Answer : Statement-1 is true,Statement-2 is true and Statement-2 is the correct explanation for statement-1
If the acceleration vector is not directed towards the centre of the circle,it will have a component along the tangent,as a result the speed of the body will change and the motion no longer remains uniform.
