Statement 1: The mass of the acetic acid molecule in benzene is more than the actual value of the solute. Statement 2: Molecules of acetic acid dimerise in benzene due to hydrogen bonding.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True
