There are two boxes A & B. Cell phones are kept in both the boxes, all air is sucked from box A and then closed by a device. While box B is simply closed by a device without sucking air from it. A call is made simultaneously on both the phones, but the ringing sound comes only from box B. This is because:

Statement 1: In box B, there are air particles to vibrate and box A is a vacuum.
Statement 2: Sound needs a medium for propagation.

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

The correct option is A
Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

In box A, there are no air particles to vibrate, so sound does not propagate in box A and no sound is heard. But in box B there are air particles to vibrate and hence sound propagates.
