Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion A mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide can be distinguished by passing it through lime water.

From this experiment we can distinguish nitrogen and carbon-di-oxide. Hence, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
