Assertion : Sodium formate has both the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}$ bonds have same value $1.27 Å$. Reason: Equal bond length is due to the phenomenon of resonance.
  1. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  3. If assertion is true but reason is false
  4. If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

Formate ion shows resonance and gives rise to identical bond lengths.
