Step 1 — Analyse reaction (A):

- In : O is 
- In  (product): O is 
- O goes from : oxidation (loss of electrons)
-  is oxidised → acts as reducing agent in (A)

- In : Cl is ; in : Cl is  → Cl is reduced → HOCl is the oxidizing agent

Step 2 — Analyse reaction (B):

- In : O is 
- In : O is 
- O goes from : oxidation
-  is oxidised → acts as reducing agent in (B)

-  (0) →  (): reduced →  is the oxidizing agent

Conclusion:  acts as reducing agent in BOTH (A) and (B)
