Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect According to the Newton's law of cooling, the rate of the heat loss is directly proportional to the difference of temperature.
But the Newton's law of cooling, holds good only for small difference of temperature.
Therefore, Assertion is correct but the reason is wrong.
