Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The ratio of specific conductivity to the observed conductance is a constant value and does not depends upon the concentration of solution. specific conductivityobserved conductance = cell constant;
on dilution, the number of conducting ions per unit volume decrease, so the specific conductivity decreases but the total number of conducting ions increases, hence the observed conductance increases.
