1.	Assertion : The speed of soun in solids is maximum though density is large. Reason : The coefficient of elasticity of solid is large.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct expleanation of assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct expleanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion and reason both are false.
Answer» Correct Answer - A The velocity of sound in solid is given by `v=sqrt((R)/(rho))`. Through`rho` is large for solids, but their coefficient of elasticity E is much larger (compared to that of liquids and gases). That is why `v` is maximum in case of solid.
