Thermal Properties of Matter

Question

Assertion: A piece of ice, with a stone frozen inside it, floats on water in a beaker. When the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker decreases.

Reason:  Density ofstone is more than that of water.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

A.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

The water level remains the same when ice cube melts. A floating object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight.
