Assertion: If three capacitors of capacitance `C_(1) lt C_(2) lt C_(3)` are connected in parallel then their equivalent capacitance `C_(p) gt C_(s)`
Reason: `(1)/(C_(p)) = (1)/(C_(1)) + (1)/(C_(2)) + (1)/(C_(3))`

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If the assertion and reason both are false

Answer

C

Explanation

`C_(eq) =C_1+C_2+C_3` (in parallel).
