Answer

A is true but R is false.

Explanation — The block of pure silver is used as anode because it is active electrode, as it slowly dissolves in the solution, Ag⁺ ions are produced for the plating process. Hence the assertion (A) is true.

Silver ions are deposited on to the article that acts as cathode. Hence reason (R) is false.
