The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will break down the statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "Ice melts faster at higher altitude." **Analysis**: - Generally, as altitude increases, the temperature tends to decrease. Lower temperatures can slow down the melting process of ice. Therefore, the assertion that ice melts faster at higher altitudes is incorrect. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "At high altitude atmospheric pressure is higher." **Analysis**: - In fact, atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. This means that the statement about atmospheric pressure being higher at high altitudes is also incorrect. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that: - The assertion "Ice melts faster at higher altitude" is false. - The reason "At high altitude atmospheric pressure is higher" is also false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false.
