Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
A mixture of acetone and methanol both are polar therefore they are miscible and can interact with each other by H-bonding. The boiling point of Methanol is 64.7 oC and boiling point of Acetone is 56 oC.
So, it is very easy to separate them by fractional distillation. Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Hence, the correct option is A
