Assertion : Addition of silver ions to a mixture of aqueous sodium chloride and sodium bromide solution will first precipitate $\mathrm{AgBr}$ rather than $\mathrm{AgCl}$.
Reason : $K_{s p}$ of $\mathrm{AgCl} < K_{s p}$ of $\mathrm{AgBr}$
Options:

The correct answer is:
If assertion is true but reason is false
$K_{s p}$ of $\mathrm{AgCl}>K_{s p}$ of $\mathrm{AgBr}$.
For the precipitation to occur, its ionic product should exceed solubility product.
For the precipitation to occur, its ionic product should exceed solubility product.
