Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: If dQ and dW represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively.Then according to the first law of thermodynamics dQ = dU − dW.
Reason R: First law of thermodynamics is based on law of conservation of energy.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

Option: 1

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


Option: 2

A is not correct but R is correct
 


Option: 3

First law of thermodynamics is based on energy conservation
dQ =dU+ dW 
Here dW → work done on the system so volume decreases.
So dW →  –ve
dQ = dU – dW
