Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
For oxidizing or reducing agents,
Equivalent weight $=$ $\frac{F o r m u l a w e i g h t}{N o . o f e l e c t r o n s g a i n e d o r l o s t}$ $=$ $\frac{F o r m u l a w e i g h t}{c h a n g e i n o x i d a t i o n s t a t e}$
Therefore, option (C) is correct.
