    Assertion: Woollen clothes keep the body warm in winter. Reason: Air is a bad conductor of heat.

    A)  A      

    B)        B                           

    C)        C                                           

    D)  D          

    E)  E

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The fibres of woollen clothes have large interspaces and air is filled in these spaces. Since this air is immovable convection currents are not set up in it and so heat transmission by convection does not take place. Also since air is a bad conductor of heat, there is no heat- transmission by conduction also.
