Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
→ Specific conductance means conductance of 1ml solution. Specific conductance decreases on dilution because number of ions decreases per ml.
→ Equivalent Conductance of the solution increases on dilution because Ionic interference decreases on dilution & also mobility of ions decreases.
