Assertion: Ice melts faster at high altitudes. Reason: At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is high.

Assertion: Ice melts faster at high altitudes.
Reason: At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is high.
(a) 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) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Explanation:
Ice does not melt faster at high altitude because melting is favoured at high pressure, whereas atmospheric pressure decreases as we go higher. So, assertion and reason both are false.
