106by dilute do they mean very dilute??
If so then answer is true
Using Pt electrode
(A) Dil solution Hcl (P) O2 evolved at anode
(B) dil solution of Nacl (Q) H2 evolved at cathode
(R) cl 2 evolved at anode
(S) Na deposited at cathode

1ya for both its p,q
both Cl- and -OH....GO TO ANODE BUT OH IS DISCAHRGED AS IT IS AT LOWER POSN IN ELEC CHEM SERIES.......HENCE O2 IS GIVEN OUT AT ANODE

Electrolysis of aqueous Sodium Chloride using Inert Electrodes
When very dilute solutions of sodium chloride are electrolysed, the results are also hydrogen (cathode) and oxygen (anode).
When moderately concentrated sodium chloride solution is electrolysed, the result is again hydrogen at the cathode, but this time chlorine gas is produced at the anode. Hydrochloric acid and other chlorides give similar results.
something to do with overvoltage i guess
