Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
$a A + b B ⇌ c C + d D$ , $Q_{c} = \frac{{[C]}^{c} {[D]}^{d}}{{[A]}^{a} {[B]}^{b}}$

If $Q_{c} > K_{c}$ , reason will proceed in the direction of reactants
If $Q_{c} < K_{c}$ , reaction will move in direction of products.
If $Q_{c} = K_{c}$ , the reaction mixture is already at equilibrium.

Hence, option C is correct
