Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (C) and (D) Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(MnO _4^{2-}\): \(x + 4(-2) = -2 \Rightarrow x = +6\) In \(MnO _4^{-}\): \(x + 4(-2) = -1 \Rightarrow x = +7\) In \(MnO _2\): \(x + 2(-2) = 0 \Rightarrow x = +4\) Oxidation states are VI, VII, IV. These correspond to (A), (C), (D).
