##### ASSERTION

Specific gravity of a fluid is a dimensionless quantity.

##### REASON

It is the ratio of density of fluid to the density of water.

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

##### SOLUTION

Specific gravity of fluid $= \dfrac {\text {density of fluid}}{\text {density of water}}$

Hence Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
