Detailed Solution

Assertion: It is true that that  R=ρ×LA. Here,  R, ρL and A  are the resistance, resistivity, length of wire and cross-sectional area respectively.
Reason: Here, we can say that resistance is directly proportional to the length of a wire. That means if the length of a wire increases then resistance also increases.
Therefore, A is true but R is false.
