Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion From electrochemical series it can be seen that, as reduction potential (E0Cl2/Clθ)>E0Br2/Brθ or E0aveI2/Iθ so it higher tendency to reduce and it can oxidise bromide and iodide ions so Cl2+Brθ→2Clθ+Br2 Cl2+Iθ→2Clθ+I2
