Note: In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

Assertion: Transparent soaps are made by dissolving soaps in ethanol.

Reason: Ethanol makes things invisible

• Soaps which are transparent in nature generally made by dissolving soaps in ethanol, & then evaporating the excess solvent which results in crystallization of the soap, allowing light to pass; therefore creating transparency( crystals are transparent in nature that is why the term crystal clear is used).

• Sugar, glycerine are also used in this process

• Hence the reason can’t explain the given assertion.
