NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics

Assertion (A): A bottle is filled with water at \(40^{\circ}\text{C}\text{ on opening it at moon, water will boil}\).

Reason (R): Atmospheric pressure on the surface of moon is zero and boiling point is proportional to pressure.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

The moon has a negligible atmosphere, leading to near-zero surface pressure. At such low pressures, water's boiling point decreases significantly. Consequently, water at \(40^{\circ}\text{C}\text{ would readily boil}\). Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) provides the correct explanation for (A).
