Sensation of Warmth and Heat Flow

Assertion (A): When you touch two bodies, the body which is felt warmer must be of higher temperature than the other one.
Reason (R): The heat flows from lower temperature to higher temperature.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; sensation of warmth indicates heat flow to the body from the object. Reason (R) is false; heat always flows from higher to lower temperature. Thus, (A) is true but (R) is false.
