Assertion (A) : There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat of work.
Reason (R ) : No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.

A

If both (A) and (R ) are correct, and (R ) is the correct explanation for (A).

B

If the both (A) and (R ) are correct, but(R ) is not a correct explanation for (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R ) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R ) are incorrect.

To solve the given assertion and reason question, we will analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states: "There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work." - This refers to the second law of thermodynamics, which indicates that while work can be completely converted into heat (100% efficiency), the reverse process (converting heat into work) cannot achieve 100% efficiency. ...
