Q118 / 200 · NEET 2024 (Re-NEET) · Physics

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Houses made of concrete roofs overlaid with foam keep the room hotter during summer. Reason R: The layer of foam insulation prohibits heat transfer, as it contains air pockets. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • Correct answer
    B
    A is false but $R$ is true.
  • C
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A .
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$.

Solution

Layer of foam create an insulation which prohibits heat transfer, and hence roofs of houses containing foam keep room cooler during summer.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
