Assertion: The electrical resistance of any object decreases with increase in its length.
Reason: The electrical resistance of any object decreases with increase in its area of cross-section.
Answer
  1. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Explanation:

The electrical resistance of any object is directly proportional to its length, l, and inversely proportional to its area of cross-section, A. So, it increases with increase in length of object and decreases with increase in area of cross-section of object.
