Solution

The correct option is A 1/3
Equivalent weight of MnO4 when it changes to MnO2 in concentrated basic medium is one-third of molar mass. The oxidation number of Mn changes from +7 (in MnO4) to +4 (in MnO2). The net change in the oxidation number is +3. Equivalent weight is the ratio of the molar mass to the change in the oxidation number.
