Two statements, one Assertion and the other Reason, are given. Choose the correct option.
Assertion : During the electrolysis of aqueous $\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{Cl}_2$ is liberated at the anode in preference to $\mathrm{O}_2$ and water gets reduced to $\mathrm{H}_2$ at cathode.
Reason : The reaction at Anode with lower oxidation potential is not preferred due to over potential of Oxygen.
Identify the correct coefficients (a), (b), (c) and (d) in the following equations
i) $\quad \mathrm{xMnO}_4^{--}+$(a) $\mathrm{SO}_3{ }^{2-}+$ (b) $\mathrm{H}^{+} \cdots \longrightarrow \mathrm{xMn}^{2+}+$ (a) $\mathrm{SO}_4{ }^{2-}+$ (c) $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
ii) (c) $\mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3{ }^{2-}+$ (d) $\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \cdots \rightarrow$ (d) $\mathrm{MnO}_2+$ (b) $\mathrm{SO}_4{ }^{2-}+\mathrm{xOH}^{-}$
