Assertion: F is more electronegative than Cl.
Reason: F has high electron affinity than Cl.
  1. If the assertion is true but reason is false
  2. If both the assertion and reason are false
  3. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  4. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

D
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
E
If the assertion is false but the reason is true
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Here assertion is true but reason is false. F is more electronegative than chlorine, in fact it is most electronegative element of the periodic table but its electron affinity, the tendency to accommodate electrons, is less than the Cl due to non availability of d-electrons.
