Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Due to greater number of oxygen attached directly to central metal atom O−H bond in HClO4 is much weaker than O−H bond in H2SO4.So HClO4 is stronger acid than H2SO4 and H2SO4 acts as a base in presence of HClO4.
