Assertion (A) : Telephone wires sag more in summer. 

Reason (R) : They expand due to summer heat.

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

Answer: A

Correct answer: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Metals expand when heated, so in summer the wire between two poles becomes slightly longer while the poles stay where they are - and the extra length can only go into a deeper sag. The expansion is exactly the cause. Both are true and R explains A.
