Statement Boiling point of water is `100^(@)C` although water boils below `100^(@)C` on mountains.
Explanation Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which `V.P.` of liquid becomes equal to `1 atm`.

`S` is correct but `E` is wrong.

`S` is wrong but `E` is correct.

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.

Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Water boils at low temperature at mountains where atmoshpheric pressure is low. i.e., when `P^(circ) =` atmoshperic pressure
