Q. Statement

1

: In an electrolytic cell, the anode becomes positive and the cathode becomes negative.
Statement

2

: Anions migrate to the anode and cations migrate to the cathode.

Q. Assertion: The anions migrate to the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
Reason: Positively charged ions are attracted to the negatively charged cathode.
