Question

Assertion :It is hotter over the top of a fire than at the same distance on the sides. Reason: Air surrounding the fire conducts more heat upwards.
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
  4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

A
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
B
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
C
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
D
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Heat is carried away from a fire sideways mainly by radiation. Above the fire, heat is carried by both radiations and also by the convection of air. The latter process carries much more heat. So the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.
