Question
Assertion : The alternating current lags behind the e.m.f. by a phase angle of $\pi / 2$, when ac flows through an inductor.
Reason : The inductive reactance increases as the frequency of ac source decreases.

Answer

(c) When ac flows through an inductor current lags behind the emf., by phase of $\pi / 2$, inductive reactance, $X_L=\omega L=\pi \cdot 2 f . L$, so when frequency increases correspondingly inductive reactance also increases.
