Reason (R): The coefficient of linear expansion of brass is less than that of iron
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both (A) and (R) are false
Option C (If (A) is true but (R) is false) is correct because the pendulum clock runs slow in summer due to the increased length of the pendulum, which increases the time period.

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.
