Assertion : All molecules in a gas have same speed.
Reason : Gas contains molecules of different size and shape.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

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 "All molecules in a gas have the same speed." - This statement is incorrect because, in reality, gas molecules are in constant motion and have a range of speeds due to their kinetic energy. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Gas contains molecules of different size and shape." - This statement is also incorrect. While gases can consist of different types of molecules, within a particular gas (like oxygen or nitrogen), the molecules are generally similar in size and shape. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that neither statement is true. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
