Assertion (A) : Kerosene having higher refractive index is optically denser than water, although its mass density is less than that of water.
Reason (R) : The speed of light decides whether a medium is optically rarer or optically denser. As optically denser medium may not possess greater mass density.

A

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

C

Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

D

Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R)is true.
