Assertion: Gases do not settle at the bottom of container.
Reason: Gases have high kinetic energy.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
It is correct that gases do not settle at the bottom of container and it is because due to higher kinetic enrgy of gaseous molecules they diffuse.
