Assertion: Liquids and gases are largely incompressible and densities are therefore, nearly constant at all pressure.
Reason: Liquids exhibit a large variation in densities with pressure by gases do not.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true and reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution
