Question
$Assertion :$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason :$ Thickness increases because of air layer enclosed between the two blankets.

Answer

Two thin blankets put together are more warm because an insulating layer of air (as air is good insulator of heat) is enclosed between two blankets due to which it gives more warmness.
