Answer:

MnO₂ + 4 HCl  ⇒ MnCl₂ + 2 H₂O + Cl₂

Now, since MnO₂ is losing an oxygen atom and converting to MnCl₂, it is being reduced and hence it is an oxidising agent.

On the other hand HCl is getting converted into H₂O which is addition of oxygen and hence oxidation and hence it is a reducing agent.
