Assertion (A): The process of electrolysis is a redox reaction.
Reason (R): Reduction occurs at anode and oxidation at cathode.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.

Answer
A is true but R is false.
Reason — During electrolysis, cations gain electrons at the cathode and are reduced, while anions lose electrons at the anode and are oxidised. Because oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously, the overall process is a redox reaction, so the assertion is true. However, reduction actually occurs at the cathode and oxidation at the anode, making the stated reason false.
