Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Alloys such as constantan and manganin are used in making standard resistance coils.
Reason R: Constantan and manganin have very small value of temperature coefficient of resistance.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• 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 1

Answer: (A)

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

Answer 2

Since they have low temperature coefficient of resistance, their resistance remains almost constant.
So, the correct option is (A): Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
