| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion (A): | The oxidation state of Cr in CrO5 is +6. |
| Reason (R): | All oxygen atoms have -2 oxidation number. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
