Assertion:  Current is passed through a metallic wire so that it becomes red hot. When cold water is poured on half of its portion, the rest of the half portion becomes more hot. 

Reason:  Resistance decreases due to decrease in temperature.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.
