Assertion : Solids, can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases.
Reason : For the proagation of transverse waves, medium must also necessarily have the property of rigidity.

(A): Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only mechanical longitudinal waves can propagate in gases. (R): For the propagation of mechanical transverse waves, medium must also necessarily have the property of rigidity.
