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: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from the pure solvent side to the solution side.
Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration solution.
Osmosis is a process in which solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane from lower concentration to a higher concentration. Here, the reason statement is false because the movement is not from higher concentration to a lower concentration but the other way around.
