NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics

Assertion (A): When a hot liquid is mixed with a cold liquid, the temperature of the mixer is undefined for some time and then becomes nearly constant.

Reason (R): If two bodies at different temperature are mixed in a calorimeter, the total energy of the two bodies remains conserved.

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:

When liquids of different temperatures are mixed, it takes time to reach thermal equilibrium, so temperature is not uniform initially. So (A) is true. In an ideal calorimeter, total energy is conserved. So (R) is true. However, (R) does not explain the time-dependent nature of temperature equilibration in (A).
