Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Sound waves in a gas are pressure waves, but these are also accompanied by changes in local temperature.
Reason (R): Sound waves are propagated in gas through an adiabatic process and hence accompanied by temperature variations.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

A rope of uniform mass per unit length \(\mu\) is suspended from the ceiling, hanging under its own weight. If a small transverse pulse is formed at its lower end \(A\), it travels upward with a local speed \(v=\sqrt {\dfrac{\text{tension}}{\text{mass/length}}}\).
                         
The speed of the pulse is:
1. maximum at \(A,\) minimum at \(O\)
2. minimum at \(A,\) maximum at \(O\)
3. uniform
4. minimum at \(A\) and \(O,\) maximum in the middle
