| Assertion: Reverse osmosis is used in the desalination of sea water. |
| Reason: When pressure more than osmotic pressure is applied, pure water is squeezed out 1 of the sea water through the membrane. |
A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
C) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
