Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): | Cu cannot liberate hydrogen from acids. |
Reason (R): | Because it has positive electrode potential. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): | Separation of Zr and Hf is difficult. |
