The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
When two bodies at temperature T1 and T2 are brought in thermal contact, they do settle to the mean temperature (T1+T2)/2. The will do so, in case the two bodies were of same mass and material i.e, same thermal capacities. In other words, the two bodies may be having different thermal capacities, that's why they do not settle to the mean temperature, when brought together.
