Assertion (A): Larger the value of cryoscopic constant of the solvent, lesser will be the freezing point of the solution.
Reason (R ): Depression in the freezing point depends on the nature of the solvent.

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, but `(R )` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.
C. If `(A)` is correct, but `(R )` is incorrect.
D. If `(A)` is correct, but `(R )` is correct.

Answer

A

Explanation

Depression in freezing point is a colligative property, hence its value depends upon the number of solute particles.
