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
