Assertion (A): Fine powders sinter more readily than coarse ones of the same material.
Reason (R): A finer powder has more surface area and therefore a greater driving force per unit mass.

  • 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 thermodynamics: the energy available to be released scales with the surface area, and the diffusion distances are shorter as well, so both the driving force and the kinetics favour fine powder.
