Assertion: A gas becomes more elastic when it is compressed.

Reason: The bulk modulus of an ideal gas is proportional to its pressure, which rises on compression.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

An ideal gas has bulk modulus (isothermal) or (adiabatic), so compressing it raises . A higher bulk modulus means a stiffer, more elastic gas. A.
