Assertion $(A):$ In a meter bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same $p$ as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.

Reason $(R):$ Resistance of metal increases with increase in temperature.

  • A

  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • D
    If both Assertion and Reason are false.

    In the circuit shown, $n$-identical resistors $R$ are connected in parallel $(n > 1)$ and the combination is connected in series to another resistor $R_0$. In the adjoining circuit $n$ resistors of resistance $R$ are all connected in series alongwith $R_0$. The batteries in both circuits are identical and net power dissipated in the $n$ resistors in both circuits is same. The ratio $R_0 / R$ is
