Assertion (A) : \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) is less soluble in heavy water than in ordinary water.

Reason (R) : Dielectric constant of ordinary water is more than that of heavy water.
The correct answer is

  1. A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. B Both \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{R})\) are true but \((\mathrm{R})\) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  3. C (A) is true, but (R) is not true
  4. D (A) is not true, but (R) is true
Verified Solution
