Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Using the ideal gas relation,
PV=nRT
At constant temperature To
PV=nRTo=constant
⇒PV=constant
⇒P∝1V
Hence, pressure is inversely proportional to volume and the plot between P and 1V will be a straight line. Therefore, Assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect
