Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion The vapour pressure of an aqueous solution is less than 1.013 bar because of the relative lowering in vapour pressure by addition of solute molecules, with addition of solute molecules the surface area decreases and vapour pressure decreases.
