SO 2 is absorbed to a greater extent than CH 4 on activated charcoal under same conditions. Gases with higher critical temperature are readily absorbed by activated charcoal.

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

A is correct but R is not correct.

A is not correct but R is correct.

SO2​ is absorbed to a greater extent than CH4​ on activated charcoal under same conditions. Gases with higher critical temperature are readily absorbed by activated charcoal.

$S O_{2}$ is absorbed to a greater extent than $C H_{4}$ on activated charcoal under same conditions. Gases with higher critical temperature are readily absorbed by activated charcoal.
