Electrolyte Conductivity

Assertion (A): Electrolyte are more conducting than metal.
Reason (R): Ions moves faster than electrons.
 
(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is false; metals are generally far better conductors than electrolytes. Reason (R) is also false; electrons typically move faster than ions, and metals have a much higher density of charge carriers.
