Assertion : Woollen clothes keep the body warm in winter
Reason : Air is a bad conductor of heat.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Woollen fibres enclose a large amount of air in them. Both wool and air are the bad conductors of heat and the coefficient of thermal conductivity is small. So, they prevent any loss of heat from our body.
