The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Depression in freezing point is a colligative property which depends upon the number of particles. The number of particles are different in case of benzene and water that is why molecular weight of acetic acid determined by depression in freezing point method is also different.
