b. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c. A is true but R is false.

Answer:

a is true but r is false

option no. c

please mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

The assertion is true but the reason is false.i.e.option(c).

Explanation:

• Immiscible liquids are two liquids that do not mix and instead separate into two distinct layers.
• A separating funnel can be used to separate these two liquids from one another.
• Depending on their densities, it will divide the immiscible liquids into two distinct layers.
• The lower layer is made up of the heavier liquid, and the higher layer is made up of the lighter liquid.
• Since kerosene is less dense than water, it makes up the top layer.

Hence, the correct answer among the given options is (c) i.e.Assertion is true but Reason is false.
