Assertion : 1 amu equals to `1.66xx10^(-24)` g.
Reason : `1.66xx10^(-24)g` equals to `1/12` th of mass of a `C^(12)` atom.

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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
12 g of C-12 contain `6.023 xx 10^(23)` atom
`therefore (12)/(6.023) xx 10^(-23) = 1.66 xx 10^(-24)`
