Assertion: In a pressure cooker the water is brought to boil. The cooker is then removed from the stove. Now on removing the lid of the pressure cooker, the water starts boiling again.
Reason: The impurities in water bring down its boiling point.
Reason: The impurities in water bring down its boiling point.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true, but reason is false
The assertion is true because reducing pressure lowers the boiling point. The reason is false because impurities elevate the boiling point.

(R): The boiling point decreases with increases in pressure
(R): The boiling point decreases with increases in pressure
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If (A) is true but (R) is false
Option C is correct because cooking is difficult on hills due to lower atmospheric pressure, which reduces the boiling point of water. The reason provided is incorrect as boiling point decreases with a decrease in pressure, not an increase.

A: Water kept in an open vessel will quickly evaporate on the surface of the moon
R: The temperature at the surface of the moon is much higher than boiling point of water
R: The temperature at the surface of the moon is much higher than boiling point of water
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A is the correct answer because water evaporates quickly in a vacuum (like the moon's surface) due to the absence of atmospheric pressure, and the high surface temperature on the moon accelerates this process.

Reason (R): Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both (A) and (R) are false
Option D (If both (A) and (R) are false) is correct because the V-t graph at constant pressure doesn't pass through the origin (Celsius scale), and volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature (Charles's Law), not inversely.
