Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: $A$ sound wave has higher speed in solids than gases.
Reason $R$: Gases have higher value of Bulk modulus than solids.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
