Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion If two half reaction with electrode potential Eo1 and Eo2 gives a third half reaction, then Eo3=Eo1+Eo2. But ΔGo1=−nFEo1 and ΔGo1=−nFEo2. Hence, ΔGo3=ΔGo1+ΔGo2 Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
