Assertion :  The stability of a crystal gets reflected in its melting point.

Reason :  The stability of a crystal depends upon the strength of the interparticle attractive force. The melting point of a solid depends on the strength of the attractive force acting between the constitutent particles.

1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
4. If both the assertion and reason are false

Assertion :  The melting point decreases in the order.
Water > ethyl alcohol > diethylether > methane

Reason : The strength of the intermolecular forces between these molecules follow the order
Water > ethyl alcohol > diethylether > methane
