Detailed Solution

This is the process of reduction and reduction is takes place at cathode.
Therefore, at cathode  2H++2e-H2
It means that for the liberation of 22.4LH2 gas 2F is required
Also we know that 1000cc = 1L therefore for 112cc it is 0.112L
Again we know that 1mol=22.4L and for 22.4L ,charge is 193000c (because 1F=96500 C)
So, for  0.112L=193000×0.11222.4=965C

Hence option A is correct.
