A

Both statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

B

Both statements 1 and 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false

D

Both statements 1 and 2 are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Velocity of sound increases with increase in temperature. So sound wave travels faster on a hot summer day than on a cold winter day.
