Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Solute : It is that component of the solution, which is present in the smaller amount by weight in the solution. Solvent : It is that component of the solution, which is present in the larger amount by weight in the solution. A solvent may be a liquid, solid, or gaseous substance that dissolves another solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution that is soluble in a certain volume of solvent. For e.g. In the figure shown below, some sugar is added in the water . So, solute is sugar and solvent is water here.
