Assertion:Addition of solvent to a solution always lowers the V.P.
Reason: The increase in relativer surface area given rise to an increases inV.P. for a given solution.

A

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

B

If both the 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:
D
Note that addition of solute to solvent (and not solvent to solute which will show reverse effect)shows a lowering in V.P.due to decrease in relative surface area.
