Assertion: Current is passed through a metallic wire, heating it red. When cold water is poured on half of its portion, then rest of the half portion becomes more hot
Reason: Resistance decreased due to decrease in temperature and so current through wire increases

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If assertion is false but reason is true
