1.	(a). If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation for (A). (b). If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation for (A). (c). If (A) is correct and (R) is incorrect. (d). If (A) is incorrect and (R) is correct. ltbr. (e). If both (A) and (R) are incorrect. Q. Assertion (A): In organic layer test, Cl_2 water is added to the sodium extract, which oxidises Br^(c-) and I^(c-) ions to Br_2 andI_2, respectively. Reason (R): Reduction potential of Cl_2 is greater than that of Br_2 and I_2.
Answer» Solution :Both (A) and (R) are CORRECT and (R) is the correct EXPLANATION for (A) `Cl_2+Br^(c-)rarr2Cl^(c-)+Br_2` `Cl_2+I^(c-)rarr2Cl^(c-)+I_2` Reduction POTENTIAL `E^@(Cl_2)/(CL^(c-))gtE^@(Br_2)/(Br^(c-))` or `(E^@I_2)/(I^(c-))`.
