[Speed of sound is 330 ms-1]

Assertion (A) : The distance travelled by sound waves (x+y) should be < 33 m.
Reason (R) : Sound reflected within 0.1 s is not heard by humans.
- A and R are true, and R is the reason for A.
- A and R are true, and R is not the reason for A.
- A is true, but R is false.
- A is false, but R is true.

A magnetic compass is present on a small table, very close to the wall in a room. A man enters the room and switches on the Air Conditioner fitted near the ceiling. He observes that the needle in the compass shows immediate deflection. Identify the most probable reason for the deflection.
- Air blowing in the room.
- Current starts flowing through AC wire concealed in the adjacent wall.
- Vibrations are produced when the Man starts talking to his wife in the kitchen.
- Vibrations were produced due to a file in his hand that fell on the ground.
Two substances, A and B, have the same mass. Substance A has a higher specific heat capacity than substance B. What consequences would you expect when these substances are subjected to the same amount of heat energy?
- Substance A will experience a smaller temperature change than substance B.
- Substance A will experience a larger temperature change than substance B.
- Both substances will experience the same temperature change.
- Either of them can show a greater change in temperature as the temperature change depends on factors other than specific heat capacity.
