Fusion of MnO2 with KOH in presence of O2 produces a salt W. Alkaline solution of W upon electrolytic oxidation yields another salt X. The manganese containing ions present in W and X, respectively, are Y and Z. Correct statement(s) is (are)

  1. A Y is diamagnetic in nature while Z is paramagnetic
  2. B Both Y and Z are coloured and have tetrahedral shape
  3. C In both Y and Z, π -bonding occurs between p -orbitals of oxygen and d -orbitals of manganese.
  4. D In aqueous acidic solution, Y undergoes disproportionation reaction to give Z and MnO2.
