14. Assertion : The shape of a liquid drop is spherical. Reason : The pressure inside the drop is greater than that of outside.

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

(a)       If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(b)       If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

(d)       If the assertion and reason both are false.
