Hello!!!

Hope you are doing great!!!

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

More the electronegitivity of the halogens , more will be the acidity.So Acidity increases if number of halide ions increases.

Order of Acidity: CCL3COOH  > CHCl2COOH >CH2ClCOOH > CH3COOH

Hope it helps you!!!

Thank you!!!
