Solution
The correct option is C Both Assertion and Reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion Zn+2NaOH→Na2ZnO2+H2 2Al+2NaOH+2H2O→2NaAlO2+3H2 So Assertion (A) is correct. P4+3NaOH+3H2O→3NaH2PO2+PH3 4S+6NaOH→Na2S2O3+2Na2S+3H2O Cl2+2NaOH→NaCl+NaClO+H2O This reaction of Cl2 is with cold and dilute NaOH. 3Cl2+6NaOH→5NaCl+NaClO3+3H2O This reaction of Cl2 is with hot and conc. NaOH.
