For the given cell, 
:
A
Mg is cathode
B
Cu is cathode
C
The cell reaction is 
D
Cu is the oxidising agent
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Left side of cell reaction represents oxidation half cell i.e., oxidation of Mg and right side
of cell represents reduction half cell reactions i.e., reduction of copper.
Reduction occurs at cathode means Cu gets reduced.
Oxidation occurs at anode means that Mg gets oxidised.
Whole cell reaction can be written as:
Hence, options and both are correct choices.
