Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : When a rod lying freely is heated, no thermal stress is developed in it.

Reason R : On heating, the length of the rod increases.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

The pitch of the screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular scale. When nothing is put in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies 8 divisions below the reference line. When a wire is placed between the jaws, the first linear scale division is clearly visible while 72^nd division on circular scale coincides with the reference line. The radius of the wire is :

If the time period of a two meter long simple pendulum is 2s, the acceleration due to gravity at the place where pendulum is executing S.H.M. is :

A diatomic gas, having $${C_p} = {7 \over 2}R$$ and $${C_v} = {5 \over 2}R$$, is heated at constant pressure. The ratio dU : dQ : dW :
