Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The velocity of sound in solids is given by, ν=γ/ρ. Through ρ is large for solids, but their coefficient of elasticity is much larger (compared to that of liquids and gases). That is why ν is maximum in case of solids.
