Assertion (A): A solution droplet can be in equilibrium at a relative humidity below one hundred per cent.
Reason (R): The dissolved solute lowers the equilibrium vapour pressure below that of pure water.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism, and this is why haze droplets exist in subsaturated air. They grow and shrink with the humidity without ever activating into cloud droplets. Atmospheric haze on a humid day is exactly this population made visible.
