Assertion : In metre bridge experiment, a high resistance is always connected in series with a galvanometer.
Reason : As resistance increases, current through the circuit increases,

Options

A. Statement `1` is true, Statement `2`is True , Statement `2` is correct explanation for Statement `1`.
B. Statement `1` is True, Statement `2` is True, Statement `2` is NOT a correct explantion for Statement `1`.
C. Statement `1` is True, Statement `2` is False.
D. Statement `1` is False, Satement `2` is True.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Assertion**:
- The assertion states that in a metre bridge experiment, a high resistance is always connected in series with a galvanometer.
- In the metre bridge setup, the galvanometer is used to detect the null point where the current through it is zero. To achieve this, a high resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer to limit the current flowing through it.

2. **Analyzing the Reason**:
- The reason states that as resistance increases, the current through the circuit increases.
- This statement is incorrect. According to Ohm's Law (V = IR), if the resistance in a circuit increases while the voltage remains constant, the current actually decreases.

3. **Conclusion**:
- Since the assertion is true (a high resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer to ensure minimal current flows through it), and the reason is false (increasing resistance does not increase current), we conclude that the assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect.

### Final Answer:
- **Assertion**: True
- **Reason**: False
