Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6: 3: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{r}\mathrm{Ag}^{+}+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ag} \\ \mathrm{Ca}^{+2}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca} \\ \mathrm{Al}^{+3}+3 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}\end{array}\) For 1 mol of \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}, \mathrm{Ca}^{+2}\) and…
