A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

1)

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

2) 

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

3)

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.

Complementary angles are those whose sum is 90.

Given here, is a right angled triangle, where anfle C is 90 deg. In this, sum of Angles A + C = 90, since, sum of angles in a right angled triangle = 180, angle C = 90 and

hence sum of A + B = 180 - C = 180 - 90 = 90.

Hence, the pair of cimplementary angles in the given triangle = Angle A + B.

Clearly, reducing the number of aspirants for admission to colleges or sending the students of well-to-do families to foreign countries for higher studies, is no proper solution. So, both I and III do not follow. The right solution is to increase the number of colleges so as t accommodate the increasing number of admission-seekers. So, only II follows.

In 1950 India's first Prime Minister Shri JawaharlalNehru was awarded with India's highest civilian honour BharatRatna.

A source program is is a text file that contains instructions or a program written in a language other than machine code, typically a high-level language.
