Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Maxwell proposed the following postulates under the heading of kinetic theory of gases:
  • Each gas is made up of a large number of small (tiny) particles known as molecules.
  • The volume of a molecule is so small that it may be neglected in comparison to total volume of gas.
  • The molecules are never in stationary state but they are believed to be in chaotic (random) motion.
  • They travel in straight line in all possible directions with altogether different but constant velocities.
  • The direction of motion is changed by the collision with container or with other molecules.
  • The molecules are perfectly elastic and bear no change in energy during collision.
  • The effect of gravity on molecular motion is negligible.
