Question
Assertion (A) : Osmotic pressure is a colligative property.
Reason (R) : Osmotic pressure is proportional to the molality.
Options

Solution
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
Explanation:
Assertion is correct because osmotic pressure is a colligative property but reason is incorrect because osmotic pressure of a solution at any temperature T depends on the molar concentration not on molality.
