Solution

The correct option is B Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by non - ideal solutions and they may have boiling points either greater than both the components or less than both the components and based on that they are called maximum boiling azeotrope and minimum boiling azeotrope respectively.
Azetropic mixtures are binary mixtures having the same composition in liquid and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature.
