Solution
The correct option is D 3 : 1 Let the moles of NaHC2O4 be 'a' and that of KHC2O4.H2C2O4 be 'b' and volumes of each consumed be V litre In redox: When KMnO4 used : 0.2×V=2a+4b ...........(1) In acid - base neutralization when NaOH used : 0.12×V=a+3b ........(2) from (1) and (2) a=0.06V b=0.02V or a:b=3:1
