| Sample $A$ | $5.0$ |
| Sample $B$ | $6.5$ |
| Sample $C$ | $10.0$ |
| Solvent front | $12.5$ |

How can an organic compound present in an aqueous solution be separated?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$:
Assertion $(A):$ $A$ simple distillation can be used to separate a mixture of propanol and propanone.
Reason $(R):$ Two liquids with a difference of more than $20^{\circ}C$ in their boiling points can be separated by simple distillation.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
