Q. Statement 1: Diisopropyl ketone on reaction with isopropyl magnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis gives $2^{\circ}$ alcohol
Statement 2: Grignard reagent acts as a reducing agent

Redox Reactions

Solution:

Here, the G.R. acts as a reducing agent because the reaction takes place via hydride ion $\left( H ^{\ominus}\right)$ transfer to ketone and G.R. itself is converted to alkene
Both statements are true, so the answer is (a)
