NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics

Assertion (A): Molar heat capacity at constant pressure can be less than molar heat capacity at constant volume.

Reason (R): \( C_p - C_V = R \) is valid only for ideal monoatomic gas.

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

Assertion (A) is false; \( C_p \) is always greater than \( C_V \) because work is done at constant pressure.

Reason (R) is false; Mayer's relation, \( C_p - C_V = R \), is valid for all ideal gases, regardless of atomicity.
