This question was previously asked in
CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
A is correct but R is not correct.

Extensive Properties Analysis: Mass, Volume, and Density

Assertion Analysis

Assertion A states that mass and volume are extensive properties. An extensive property depends on the amount of matter in a substance.

  • Mass is the total amount of matter in an object, hence it is an extensive property.
  • Volume is the space occupied by the matter, which also depends on the amount of matter, making it an extensive property.

Therefore, Assertion A is correct.

Reason Analysis

Reason R states that the ratio of mass to volume is also an extensive property. The ratio of mass to volume defines density ($ \rho $).

Density is calculated as: $ \rho = \frac{Mass}{Volume} $ Density is an intensive property. Its value does not change with the amount of substance. For example, the density of water is constant regardless of whether you have a small cup or a large bucket of it.

Therefore, Reason R is incorrect.

Conclusion

Since Assertion A is correct and Reason R is incorrect, the correct option is that A is correct but R is not correct.

This corresponds to Option 3: A is correct but R is not correct.
