Reason (R): At both iron and wood have same thermal conductivity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If (A) is true but (R) is false
Option C is correct. Assertion (A) is true because at the same temperature, the sensation of hotness depends on the rate of heat transfer, which is the same when both objects are at body temperature. Reason (R) is false because iron and wood have different thermal conductivities.

On a clear sunny day, an object at temperature T is placed on the top of a high mountain. An identical object at the same temperature is placed at the foot of mountain. If both the objects are exposed to sun-rays for two hours in an identical manner, the object at the top of the mountain will register a temperature
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Lower than the object at the foot
Option B (Lower than the object at the foot) is correct because the air at higher altitudes is thinner, leading to less absorption of solar radiation by the atmosphere, and thus less back radiation and a lower equilibrium temperature.
