Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Molecules in a gas or liqiud, all are moving at random. They will colliding with each other.In each collision there will a interchange in momentum.The total energy of system remains constant but molecules energy in not constant, so their velocity is also not a constant value.
Fig 3.18 shows the large number of molecular collisions the ratio of the number of molecules with a certain velocity to the total number of molecules is constant.It is also due to energy conservation of the system.
