Question

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 become more hot.  

Reason    : Resistances decreases due to decrease in temperature and so current through wire increases.

(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

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