MCQ

Assertion : Current is passed through a metallic wire, heating it red. When cold water is poured on half of its portion, then rest of the half portion become more hot.
Reason : Resistances decreases due to decrease in temperature and so current through wire increases.

✓
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
C
If assertion is true but reason is false.
D
If the assertion and reason both are false.

✓

Answer
