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
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion.
  • 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.
