Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation— HCl is produced, when moist hydrogen gas combines with chlorine in presence of diffused sunlight. Hence, assertion (A) is true.

${\text{H}$

The formation HCl is a explosive reaction in direct sunlight but it is negligible in dark. So, it is carried out in diffused sunlight. Hence, reason (R) is true.

Therefore, Reason (R) thus provides a valid explanation for why this reaction is occurring in diffused sunlight. Hence, Reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion
