Solution
The correct options are BMn2O7,CrO3 CCrO,V2O4 DV2O5,V2O4 The oxides which can react with both acids and bases are called amphoteric oxide. Generally transition metal oxides with lower oxidation states are basic. Whereas the oxides with higher oxidation states are acidic. Those with intermediate oxidation states are amphoteric.
Here V2O5 and Cr2O3 are amphoteric oxides CrO,V2O4 are basic oxides Mn2O7 and CrO3 are acidic oxides.
