Q. Assertion : When inductive and electromeric effects operate in opposite directions, the inductive effect predominates.
Reason : Inductive effect is the complete transfer of shared pair of $\pi$ electrons to one of the atoms.

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

When inductive and electromeric effects operate in opposite directions, the electromeric effect predominates.
Inductive effect is the polarisation of a bond caused by the polarisation of adjacent a bond.
