Assertion (A) : A simple distillation can be used to separate a mixture of propanol and propanone.

Reason (R) : Two liquids with a difference of more than 20°C in their boiling pints can be separated by simple distillations.

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

Option 1 - <p>Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)</p>
Option 2 - <p>(A) is false but (R) is true.</p>
