The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "A mixture is homogeneous in nature." - A homogeneous mixture is one where the components are uniformly distributed, and the composition is consistent throughout the mixture (e.g., saltwater). 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Mixtures show fixed composition." - Fixed composition means that the ratio of the components in the mixture remains constant. 3. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. - A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition, while a heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition (e.g., salad). - Therefore, the assertion that a mixture is homogeneous in nature is **not always true**. 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - Mixtures do not have a fixed composition. The proportions of the components can vary. - For example, you can have a mixture of sand and salt in different ratios, which means the composition is not fixed. - Thus, the reason that mixtures show fixed composition is also **not true**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
