Assertion: A body can warm without absorbing heat.

Reason: Work done on an insulated body can increase its internal energy.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

No. Temperature can rise because work is done on the body with no heat transfer: rubbing hands, stirring a liquid with a paddle in an insulated vessel, sudden (adiabatic) compression of a gas, or Joule heating by an electric current. Conversely, a body can absorb heat with no temperature change, for example ice melting at 0°C. Both are true. The Reason gives the physical cause of the Assertion. Correct option: (A).
