Assertion: A sphere a cube and a thin circular plate made of same material and of stable mass are initially heated to , the plate will cool at fastest rate.
Reason: Rate of cooling surface area and surface area is maximum for plate.
Reason: Rate of cooling surface area and surface area is maximum for plate.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct. The assertion is true because the rate of cooling depends on the surface area, and the plate has the largest surface area. The reason correctly explains why the assertion is true.

Correct option: B
If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Option B (If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)) is correct because both specific heat being thermal inertia and the behavior of bodies with high specific heat are true, but they are not directly causally linked.

Reason (R) : A perfectly black body is always black in colour.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
The correct answer is C because a normal body can radiate more energy than a black body if its temperature is higher, but a black body doesn't have to be black in color.
