Solution

The correct option is A 6:5
+7KMnO4acidicmedium−−−−−−−−−−−−+2Mn+2
+6K2Cr2O7acidicmedium−−−−−−−−−−−−+3Cr+3
+4Sn+4reducingagent−−−−−−−−−−−−+2Sn+2
Number of equivalents =moles×nf
n(Sn+4)=0.1
nf(Sn+4)=2
Equating number of equivalents of KMnO4 and Sn+4
n1nf1=n2nf2
0.1×2=5n2n21=0.04
Equating number of equivalents K2 Cr2 O7 and Sn+4
n1f1=n22f22
0.1×2=6n22
n22=0.13
Ratio of moles of KMnO3 and K2Cr2O7=0.040.1=65
