Question
Assertion : A paramagnetic sample display greater magnetisation (for the same magnetising field) when cooled.
Reason : The magnetisation does not depend on temperature.

Answer

(c) A paramagnetic sample display greater magnetisation when cooled, this is because at lower temperature, the tendency to disrupt the alignment of dipoles (due to magnetising field) decreases on account of reduced random thermal motion.
