Assertion $(A)$: The vapour pressure of $0.1 \ M$ sugar solution is less than that of $0.1 \ M$ $KCl$ solution.
Reason $(R)$: Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the number of particles of non-volatile solute present in the solution.
The correct answer is

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • C
    $(A)$ is correct but $(R)$ is not correct
  • D
    $(A)$ is not correct but $(R)$ is correct
