Given below are two statemets. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : In an insulated container, a gas is adiabatically shrunk to half of its initial volume. The temperature of the gas decreases.
Reason (R) : Free expansion of an ideal gas is an irreversible and an adiabatic process.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2025]
(3)
(A) :
Temperature increases when volume decreases.
(R) : Free expansion is assumed fast, so the pressure is adiabatic.
