Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
From figure, AP=BP=r (as A and B are equidistant from point P)
Electric potential at a point P, Vp=VA+VB
Vp=k(q)r+k(q)r
Vp=0
Thus both the statements are true and the reaon explains the assertion very well.
