NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics

Assertion (A): It is not possible for a system, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body at lower temperature to another body a higher temperature.

Reason (R): According to Clausius statement "No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooled object to a hotter object".

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 the practical implication of the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics: heat does not spontaneously flow from cold to hot. Reason (R) provides the exact wording of the Clausius statement. Thus, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation for A.
