$Assertion:$ At a given temperature,the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure $(C_p)$ is always greater than its specific heat at constant volume $(C_v)$.
$Reason:$ When a gas is heated at constant volume,some extra heat is needed compared to that at constant pressure for doing work in expansion.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
