Three metals, A, B and C, are supplied with the same quantity of heat. Their masses are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. If they show the same rise in the temperature, then the ratio of their thermal capacities will be:
- 1:1:1
- 4:3:2
- 2:3:4
- 2:3:1

Answer
1:1:1
Reason — For each metal, the heat supplied is and the temperature rise is , so
Because both and are identical for A, B and C, the product i.e., the thermal (heat) capacity, is the same for all three metals. Hence their thermal capacities are in the ratio .

The diagram shows the magnificent dome at Gol Ghumbaz at Bijapur. A boy standing at A whispers, and it is clearly heard at B across the huge dome.
[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.
