MHT CET Physics question

Statement 1: Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter Statement 2: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is TrueCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution
