Assertion: Boiling point of n-Hexane is higher than iso-hexane.

Reason:n-Hexane is branched but iso hexaneis straight chained carbon​

I think this is how the question should be.

Boiling point of n-hexane is greater than isohexane because n-Hexane is straight chained and isohexane is branched. Branching decreases the boiling point.

So, Assertion is correct but the reason is wrong (which is usually option C).
