Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation for (A) since the oxidation number of N in  is maximum (+5): therefore, it can only decrease. Hence,  acts as an oxidising agent

In the Oxidation number of N is +3, so it can increase by losing electrons or can decrease by accepting electrons. Therefore,  acts both as an oxidizing as well as reducing agent
