The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Second analytical group of cations consist of ions that form acid − insoluble sulfietes. These include Bi+3,Cd+2,Cu2+,As3+,As5+,Sb+3,Sb+5,Sn+2,Sn+4 and Hg+2,Pb+2 is also included.
Silver and tin are placed in 1st and second group respectively, not on the basis of solubility of their salts.
