Solution

The correct option is B Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false
CH4 and CO2 have the value of z (compressibility factor) less than one.
Compressibility factor of a gas is defined as z=PVnRT.
If attractive inter-molecular forces dominate then, tends to be smaller than 1 and vice-versa if repulsive forces dominate.
ZCl due to inter-molecular attractive forces.
