Assertion :An open-tube manometer is a useful instrument for measuring pressure differences. Reason: 1 bar = 105 Pa.
The open-tube manometer is the device that can be used to measure the pressure difference. It measures the pressure of a gas is kept in its container. The pressure of the gas is given by the height of mercury levels. Therefore it is a simple device that compares the pressure within two containers.
Also, 1 unit of the bar is equal to 105 Pascal.
But the reason for working on this device is not based on the fact given as a unit of 1 Bar.
Thus assertion and reason both are correct, but the reason is not appropriate.
Thus option B is correct.
