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.

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.
