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 answerBA is false but $R$ is true.
- CBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A .
- DBoth $A$ 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'.
