Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):

Houses made of concrete roofs overlaid with foam keep the room hotter during
summer.

Reason (R):

The layer of foam insulation prohibits heat transfer, as it contains air pockets.


In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (R).

Two rods, one made of copper and other made of steel, of the same length and same cross sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are \(385~\text{Js}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\) and \(50~\text{Js}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}\) respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at \(100^\circ \text{C}\) and \(0^\circ \text{C}\) respectively. The temperature at the junction is, nearly:
1. \(12^\circ \text{C}\)
2. \(50^\circ \text{C}\)
3. \(73^\circ \text{C}\)
4. \(88.5^\circ \text{C}\)

A deep rectangular pond of surface area \(A\), containing water (density = \(\rho,\) specific heat capacity = \(s\)), is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of \(-26^{\circ}\text{C}\). The thickness of the ice layer in this pond at a certain instant is \(x\). Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as \(k\), and its specific latent heat of fusion as \(L\), the rate of increase of the thickness of the ice layer, at this instant, would be given by:
1. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L-4s}\)
2. \(\dfrac{26k}{x^2\rho L}\)
3. \(\dfrac{26k}{x\rho L}\)
