Assertion : Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by non-$ideal$ solutions and they may have boiling points either greater than both components or less than both the components.
Reason : The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of the liquid phase of an azeotropic mixture.

Which of the following statements is true?

The azeotropic mixture of $HCl$ and water contains ...... $\%$ $HCl$.

The boiling point of an azeotropic mixture of water-ethanol is less than that of both water and ethanol. Then
