Assetion : Specific heat of a gas at constant pressure is greater than its specific heat at constant volume.
This is because at constant pressure, some heat is spent in expansion of the gas.

A

If, both Assertion and reason are ture and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both, Assertion and reason are true but Reason is not a correct expationation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
