Assertion: Alcohols have higher boiling ...

Assertion: Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses.
Reason: Alcohols and ethers are isomerism in nature.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion if false but reason is ture.

Text Solution
