$Assertion :$ When a glass of hot milk is placed in a room and allowed to cool, its entropy decreases.
$Reason :$ Allowing hot object to cool does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.

A body cools, its entropy decreases as $dS = \frac {dQ}{T}$ and $dQ$ is $-ve, dS$ is also $-ve$. $R$ is also true. Second law states that entropy of the universe increases. Universe includes both system and surroundings. $R$ does not explain $A$.

    Graphs below show the entropy versus energy $U$ of two systems $1$ and $2$ at constant volume. The initial energies of the systems are indicated by $U_{1, i}$ and $U_{2, i}$, respectively. Graphs are drawn to the same scale. The systems are then brought into thermal contact with each other. Assume that, at all times the combined energy of the two systems remains constant. Choose the most appropriate option indicating the energies of the two systems and the total entropy after they achieve the equilibrium.
