Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion

Both assertion and reason are correct but, reason is not correct explanation for assertion

Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect

Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct​

Answer 1

Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect

Explanation:

Assertion

• We can smell hot food from several meters. The reason behind this is that hot food particles possess more kinetic energy because kinetic energy and temperature are directly proportional to each other.

• Due to high kinetic energy particles move faster and evaporate at a higher rate. This makes it easy for the smell of hot food to reach us from several meters.

Reason

• But evaporation occurs faster where the weather is dry, hot and windy. More humidity means more water in the air which makes it difficult for the air to hold more water. Thus, more humidity means slow evaporation.

Result

• Assertion is correct but the reason is wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

assertion is true but reason is false
