Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:

Assertion A: $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}$ is more acidic than $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.

Reason R: Bond dissociation enthalpy of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}$ is lower than $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.

Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$.

$A$ is false but $R$ is true.

$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
