Options
- A(a)-(p), (b)-(s), (c)-(q), (d)-(r)
- B(a)-(r), (b)-(s), (c)-(p), (d)-(q)
- C(a)-(r), (b)-(p), (c)-(s), (d)-(q)
- D(a)-(q), (b)-(s), (c)-(p), (d)-(r)
Correct answer
B. (a)-(r), (b)-(s), (c)-(p), (d)-(q)
Step-by-step solution
In the given options The metal which reveals a maximum number of oxidation state → Mn The metal although placed in 3 d block is considered not as a transition element is → Zn The metal which does not exhibit variable oxidation state is → Sc (only + 3 ) The metal which in + 1 oxidation state in aqueous solution undergoes disproportionation is → Cu
