Q. Assertion: Higher the molal depression constant of the solvent used, higher the freezing point of the solution.
Reason: Depression in freezing point does not depend on the nature of the solvent.

Solution:

$\Delta T_{f} \propto K_{t} \cdot m$
$T_{0}-T_{j} \propto K_{f} \cdot m$
Thus, higher the molal depression constant, $k_{f}$ of the solvent used, higher the freezing point of the solution.
