In these question, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given .Choose the correct answer out of the following choices: Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement. Assertion: The flash of lightning is seen before the sound of thunder is heard. Reason: Speed of sound is greater than speed of light.

Explain this statement clearly :- " To call a dimensional quantity large’ or ‘small’ is meaningless without specifying a standard for comparison”. In view of this, reframe the following statements wherever necessary :- the speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light.
