Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When we put a fire in a place , the air above to fire gets heated up. Hot air being light moves up. To fill up the gap cold air from the side of the fire rushes in. As the top of a fire is covered by hot air, it feels hotter over the top of the fire the same distance on the sides.
