In the following questions a statement of assertion (A) followed by a statement of reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.

Assertion (A) : Redox couple is the combination of oxidised and reduced form of a substance involved in an oxidation or reduction half cell.


Reason (R) : In the representation E° Fe3+/fe2+and E°cu2+/cu , Fe3+ / Fe2+ and Cu2+ are redox couples.


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


(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv) Both A and R are false


(iii) A is true but R is false.

A redox couple is a reducing species and its corresponding oxidizing form written in a particular representation.


Fe3+|Fe2+ and Cu2+|Cu are the correct representations of a redox couple, implying that Fe3+ is an oxidized state of Fe and same for Cu.
