Given are two statements one is labeled as Assertion A and other is labeled as Reason R.
Assertion A : Magnesium can reduce Al2O3 at a temperature below 1350°C, while above 1350°C aluminium can reduce MgO
Reason R : The melting and boiling points of magnesium are lower thatn those of aluminium.
In light of the above statements, choose most appropriate answer for the options given below:
