Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): When NaCl is added to water a depression in freezing point is observed.
Reason (R): The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes depression in the freezing point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
- Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
