Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas,the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason $(R) :$ In isothermal process,$PV =$ constant,while in adiabatic process $PV^\gamma =$ constant. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats,$P$ is the pressure and $V$ is the volume of the ideal gas. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • D
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
