Assertion: A sphere a cube and a thin circular plate made of same material and of stable mass are initially heated to 200∘C200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, the plate will cool at fastest rate.
Reason: Rate of cooling =eAσms(T4−T04)∝=\frac{\mathrm{eA} \sigma}{\mathrm{ms}}\left(\mathrm{T}^4-\mathrm{T}_0^4\right) \propto 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.

Assertion (A) : A normal body can radiate energy more than a perfectly black body.

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.

A: Liquid molecules have greater potential energy at the melting point
R: Intermolecular spacing between molecules increase at melting point
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
The correct answer is Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A because both statements are factually correct, but the increased intermolecular spacing doesn't directly cause the increased potential energy.
