K and tell me are reducing agent and reduced agent the same?
no, reducing agents reduce the reactants and oxidises themselves
whereas reduced product is reduced by reducing agent or we can say it oxidises reducing agent
Its simple reducing agent becomes oxidised product and oxidising agent becomes reduced product after reaction

Heya,
Substance reduced; substance oxidised; reducing agent and oxidising are always the reactants and not the products.
For example:-
MnO₂ + 4 HCl ------> MnCl₂ + Cl₂ + 2H₂O
In this equation;
Substance oxidised:- Hcl because Hydrogen is being removed from it.
Substance reduced:- MnO₂ because Oxygen is being removed from it.
Oxidising agent:- MnO₂ because it gives out oxygen for oxidation.
Reducing agent:- Hcl because it gives out hydrogen for reduction.
