Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Cr2+ acts as a reducing agent and Mn3+ acts as an oxidising agent when both have d4 configuration. |
| Reason (R): | The maximum oxidation state Cr show is +5 and Mn shows is +7. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
The correct sequence of decreasing oxidizing power of VO2+, MnO4– , Cr2O72– is:

2. MnO4– > Cr2O72– > VO2+
3. MnO4– < Cr2O72– < VO2+
4. Cr2O72– > VO2+ > MnO4–
