Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Red colour of ruby is due to the presence of \(Co ^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((i)\) In \(VOSO _{4},{ }^{\prime} V ^{\prime}\) is in \(+4\) oxidation state. So it act as oxidising agent. \((ii)\) \(Cr _{2} O _{3}\) is an amphoteric oxide. \((iii)\) \(\operatorname{In} RuO _{4},\) \('Ru'\) is in \(+8\) oxidation state. So it act as oxidising agent.…
