Assertion (A): On a V-T graph, the slope of an isobar increases with pressure.
Reason (R): At constant temperature, for an ideal gas its volume is directly proportional to its pressure.
Solution:
For an isobar, \( V = (\frac{nR}{P})T \). The slope on a V-T graph is \( \frac{nR}{P} \). As P increases, slope decreases, so (A) is false. Boyle's law states that at constant T, \( V \propto \frac{1}{P} \), i.e., V is inversely proportional to P, so (R) is false.
