Question
Assertion : Reversible systems are difficult to find in real world.
Reason : Most processes are dissipative in nature

Answer

(a) In a perfectly reversible system, there is no loss of energy. Losses can be minimised, friction can be reduced, the resistance in L-C oscillating system can also be negligible. But one cannot completely eliminate energy losses. This makes a perfectly reversible system, an ideal.
