    Correct Option - 1


    Detailed Solution:

    the finest gold sol is red in colour, as the size of particle increases, it appears purple then blue and finally gold. The colour of colloidal solution depends on the wavelength of light scattered by the dispersed particles. The wavelength of light further depends on size and nature of the particles. Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
