The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Magnetic susceptibility is a pure number." - Magnetic susceptibility (χ) is defined as the ratio of magnetization (M) to the applied magnetic field (H), i.e., χ = M/H. - Since it is a ratio of two quantities with the same units (both M and H are measured in terms of magnetic field), magnetic susceptibility is indeed a dimensionless quantity. Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is "The value of magnetic susceptibility for vacuum is one." - In reality, the magnetic susceptibility of a vacuum is defined as 0, because a vacuum cannot be magnetized. Thus, the statement that the susceptibility for vacuum is one is **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the correct option is: - **Option 3**: Assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false (Option 3). ---
