Solution
The correct option is A Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion When a mixture of non reactive gases applies pressure on a system, the pressure exerted by individual gases is termed as partial pressure. A gas will move from an area where its partial pressure is higher to an area where its partial pressure is lower.
