Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The assertion is correct because electrostatic force between two-pint charges is
F=14πε0q1q2r2
where F is proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
Reason is also correct because gravitational force is Fg=Gm1m2r2
where G= gravitational constant m1 and m2 are two masses.
r= separation between masses
Fg is similar to electrostatic force F.
But the reason is the correct explanation for an assertion.
