In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. Mark the correct choice as: Assertion : Sn in +2 oxidation state is a reducing agent while Pb in +4 state is an oxidising agent. Reason : Inert pair effect is due to participation of s electrons in bond formation.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
