Solution

The correct options are
A The value of n=2
B Empirical formula of iodide is AI
A2In+MnO4H+IO3+AO+Mn2+
Here oxidation of both A and I is taking place so n-factor (nfactor) of A2In is sum of the two.
oxidation state of A in A2In=n/2
nfactor= (change in oxidation state) x (total number of atoms) so,
nf of A2In=nf(I)+nf(A)=6×2+(2n2)×2=16n
and
nf of MnO4=5
equating the number of equivalents we get:
equivalentsA2In=equivalentsMnO4

moles×nfactor(A2In)=moles×nfactor(MnO4)

5×103×(16n)=700×0.02×51000
n=2

so, option (a) is correct and the compound is A2I2
and hence option (b) is correct: Empirical formula of the idoide =AI

nf of A2I2=12+2=14

A2I2nf=14+K2Cr2O7nf=6H+IO3+AO+Cr3+

equiA2I2=equiK2Cr2O7

0.15×14=nK2Cr2O7×6

nK2Cr2O7 used

=0.15×146=0.15×73=0.35

hence option (c) is incorrect

option (d) is incorrect, "A" is not a first group metal as it shows variable oxidation state.
