MCQ
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas, the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason (R) : In isothermal process, $PV =$ constant, while in adiabatic process $PV ^\gamma=$ constant. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats, P is the pressure and V is the volume of the ideal gas.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
