please explain the reason why vs please explain why

The phrases are both correct, but they would be used in somewhat distinct contexts. 'Please explain why' is a more concise and common way to ask for an explanation. 'Please explain the reason why' is also correct but sounds a bit more formal and might be used when emphasizing the need for a detailed explanation.
