Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A : The alkali metals and their salts impart characteristic colour to reducing flame.

Reason R : Alkali metals can be detected using flame tests.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A : Beryllium has less negative value of reduction potential compared to the other alkaline earth metals.

Reason R : Beryllium has large hydration energy due to small size of Be$$^{2+}$$ but relatively large value of atomization enthalpy
