Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct Forward resistance Rf=ΔVfΔIf
Change in forward voltage ΔVf=2−0.5=1.5V
Change in forward current ΔIf=1.5 mA =1.5×10−3 A
∴Rf=1.51.5×10−3=1000Ω
Hence the assertion statement is incorrect whereas the reason statement is correct.
