Answer
A is true but R is false.
Explanation — In the second step of Bosch process, water gas is mixed with excess steam and passed over heated ferric oxide, which acts as a catalyst and chromic oxide Cr2O3, which acts as a promoter to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
Hence assertion (A) is true.
The mixture Hydrogen and carbon dioxide(CO2 + H2) are separated through caustic potash solution, which removes carbon dioxide by reacting with it, leaving hydrogen. Hence reason (R) is false.
