Q.

Assertion: Zinc fails to evolve hydrogen gas on reacting with dilute sulphuric acid.
Reason: It gives the NO gas on reaction with ammonia.

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true, but reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false, but reason is true

It is because dil. HNO is an oxidising agent therefore, zinc gives NO and not H with dil. HNO. Thus, assertion is false but reason is true.
