Assertion: Atoms can neither be created ...

Assertion: Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
Reason: Under similar condition of temperature and pressure, equal volume of gases does not contain equal number of atoms.

A

(a)If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

(b)If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

(c )If the assertion is true but reason is false.

D

(d)If assertion is false but reason is true.
