Please explain this.

Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:
a)Cl- +NO    Cl2 + N2O
​Balancing the equation in acidic medium we add H+ to the side deficient in Hydrogen and water to the side deficient in Oxygen
So the equation becomes:2H ++ ​2Cl- +2NO    Cl2 + N2O + H2O
Oxidising agent is the substance which undergoes reduction: NO[ NO undergoes reduction to form N2O]
Reducing agent is the substance which undergoes oxidation : Cl- [Cl- oxidises to Cl2 in the reaction ]

b)PbO2 + I2    Pb2+ + IO3-
Balancing the equation in acidic medium:
4H+ + 4​PbO2 + I2    4Pb2+ + 2IO3- + 2H2O
Oxidixing agent is PbO2
Reducing agent is I2

c)Cr2O72- + S   Cr3+ + H2SO3
Balancing the equation in acidic medium​
8H+ +Cr2O72- + S   2Cr3+ + H2SO3 + 4H2O
Oxidising agent is : ​Cr2O72-
Reducing agent is : S

d)BrO3-+ Mn2+     Br2 + MnO2 
Balancing the equation in acidic medium​​
8H+ +2BrO3-+ Mn2+     Br2 + MnO2 ​+ 4H2O​
Oxidising agent : ​BrO3-
Reducing agent : Mn2+

First balance the equation .
Then check which element is undergoing oxidation and reduction.
Reducing agent undergoes oxidation.
Oxidising agent undergoes reduction.

Shouldn't i assign oxidation no. To each element?
