The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "The density of water remains constant as it is cooled from room temperature until its temperature reaches 4°C." - To evaluate this, we need to consider how the density of water changes with temperature. As water is cooled from room temperature (around 20-25°C) to 4°C, it actually experiences a decrease in volume, which leads to an increase in density. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Below 4°C, the density increases." - In reality, when water is cooled below 4°C, it begins to expand, which means its volume increases. Since density is defined as mass divided by volume (Density = Mass/Volume), an increase in volume while the mass remains constant leads to a decrease in density. Thus, this reason is also **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
