(A): In isobaric process, during an expansion of a gas both volume and temperature of the gas increase.
(R): Heat added to a gas partly gets converted into internal energy and remaining to do external work.
(R): Heat added to a gas partly gets converted into internal energy and remaining to do external work.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Option A is correct because in an isobaric process, as heat is added to the gas, both volume and temperature increase, with the added heat partly converting into internal energy and the rest doing external work.

(A): During a free expansion of an ideal gas work done is zero.
(R): Work done against vacuum is zero.
(R): Work done against vacuum is zero.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. Free expansion occurs against zero external pressure, and work done against a vacuum is indeed zero, but the reason for zero work in free expansion is not *only* because it's a vacuum.
