The correct answer is: If assertion is true but reason is false.
$\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ is less soluble in water. It can be found in pure state and can be accurately weighed. It is not hygroscopic in nature. So, $\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ is used as a primary standard solution.
