Assertion: There are infinite number of lines which passes through (3, 2). Reason: A linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.

Let's analyze the assertion and the reason to determine their correctness and the relationship between them.

### Assertion:
**There are infinite number of lines which pass through (3, 2).**

- **This is true.** A point on a plane can be part of infinitely many lines because you can draw a line in any direction that passes through that point. For example, lines with equations like \( y = mx + c \), where \( c = 2 - 3m \) and \( m \) is any real number, will pass through the point (3, 2).

### Reason:
**A linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.**

- **This is also true.** A linear equation in two variables (like \( ax + by = c \)) represents a line in the Cartesian plane, and all the points (solutions) on that line satisfy the equation. Since a line contains infinitely many points, the equation has infinitely many solutions.

### Checking the relationship between Assertion and Reason:
- The assertion and the reason are both true, but the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The reason talks about the solutions of a linear equation, while the assertion is about the number of lines passing through a given point. The reason could be misleading if interpreted as the explanation for why there are infinitely many lines through a single point.

### Conclusion:
- **Assertion** is true.
- **Reason** is true.
- **Reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.**
