Reason R: Constantan and manganin have very small value of temperature coefficient of resistance.

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

  1. A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Correct answer
  2. B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
