Assertion : A brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
Reason : The thermal conductivity of brass is less than that of wood.

Options

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.

Answer

C

Explanation

The thermal conductivity of brass is high i.e., brass is a good conductor of heat. So, when a brass tumbler is touched, heat quickly flows from human body to tumbler. Consequently, the tumbler appears colder, on the other hand wood is a bad conductor. So, heat does not flow from the human body to the wooden tray in this case. Thus, it appears comparatively hotter.
