The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Mass and volume are extensive properties." - Extensive properties are those that depend on the amount of matter present. - Mass is indeed an extensive property because it increases with the quantity of matter. - Volume is also an extensive property because it increases as the amount of substance increases. 2. **Conclusion about the Assertion**: - Since both mass and volume depend on the quantity of matter, the assertion is **true**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Mass/volume is also an extensive parameter." - The ratio of mass to volume gives us density (Density = Mass/Volume). - Density is an intensive property, meaning it does not depend on the amount of substance present. For example, the density of water remains constant regardless of whether you have a cup of water or a whole ocean. 4. **Conclusion about the Reason**: - Since density (mass/volume) does not depend on the quantity of matter, the reason is **false**. 5. **Final Evaluation**: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **Assertion is true but the reason is false.** ---
