Assertion (A): Cryogenic tunnels raise the Reynolds number without altering the Mach number.

Reason (R): Cooling the gas raises its density and lowers its viscosity together.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: B

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. Both effects push the Reynolds number the same way, giving roughly a sixfold gain at 110 K, while the Mach number depends on speed relative to the local speed of sound and is set independently.
