Assertion : Change in colour of acidic solution of potassium dichromate by breath is used to test drunk driver.

Reason : Change in colour is due to the complexation of alcohol with potassium di chromate.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• If assertion is true, but reason is false.

• Both assertion and reason are false statements.

Assertion : SiF₆^2- is known but SiCl₆^2- is not.

Reason : Size of fluorine is small and its lone pair of electrons interacts with d-orbitals of Si strongly.
