Q. Assertion : Tertiary carbonium ions are generally formed more easily than primary carbonium ions.
Reason : Hyperconjugation as well as inductive effect due to additional alkyl groups stabilize tertiary carbonium ions.

Solution:

Greater the number of $H$-atoms present on the carbon atoms a to un saturation the more resonating forms are possible due to hyperconjugation and thus greater is the stability of carbonium ion.
