State whether the following sentences are true $(T)$ or false $(F)$:
$(a)$ There is more than one reactant in a pseudo first order reaction.
$(b)$ In a pseudo first order reaction,the concentration of both reactants is the same.
$(c)$ In a pseudo first order reaction,the concentration of one reactant is very high.

(A) True $(T)$: $A$ pseudo first order reaction involves two or more reactants,but the rate depends on only one due to the excess of others.
$(b)$ False $(F)$: In a pseudo first order reaction,one reactant is present in large excess,so their concentrations are not the same.
$(c)$ True $(T)$: One reactant is present in such a large excess that its concentration remains practically constant throughout the reaction,making the reaction follow first-order kinetics.
