Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the molecules colliding with the walls of the container. At high pressure, means its' volume reduced, thus resulting in an increased density.
Boyle's law is a component of ideal gas equation at constant temperature. At high pressure, there's a deviation of gas behavior from ideal gas. So, gases deviate from Boyle's law at high pressure.
