Answer:
Oxidation is a reaction which involves addition of oxygen,removal of hydrogen, addition of electronegative ion,removal of electropositive ion,loss of electrons
Reduction involves addition of hydrogen removal of oxygen,addition of electropositive ion ,removal of electronegative ion and gain of electrons takes place.
In the given reaction Br- is oxidised to Br 2 as as it loss it's electron and hence acts as reducing agent.
Cl2 is reduced to Cl- as electrons are added to Cl and hence acts as oxidising agent.
