$Assertion :$ The ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for an ideal diatomic gas is less than that for an ideal monoatomic gas (where $C_p$ and $C_v$ have usual meaning).
$Reason :$ The atoms of a monoatomic gas have less degrees of freedom as compared to molecules of the diatomic gas.

    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
