Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Boyle's law states "at a constant temperature (T), the pressure (P) of a given mass (or moles, n) of any gas varies inversely with the volume (V)".
According to Boyle's law, V∝1P
So plot of volume (V) versus pressure (P) at constant temperature is a hyperbola in the first quadrant.
