Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect and Reason is incorrect Both incorrect. ρ is the characteristic of the material of resistors. It does not depend on the length and cross-sectional area of resistors. But R depends on the length and the cross-sectional are of the resistor. So, R1 may be greater than R2 even when ρ1<ρ2
