Solution

The correct options are
C 100 mL of 1N solution of each is neutralised by equal volumes of 1N Ca(OH)2.
D 100 mL of 1M solution of each is oxidised by equal volumes of 1M KMnO4.
(A) Equivalent weight of H2C2O4 and NaHC2O4 are equal to one half of their molecular weights, when they behave as reducing agents.
Hence, the option A is incorrect.
(B) 100 mL of 1 M solution of H2C2O4 is neutralised by equal volumes of 1M Ca(OH)2.
100 mL of 1M solution of NaHC2O4 is neutralised by 50 mL of 1M Ca(OH)2.
Hence, option B is incorrect.
(C) 100 mL of 1N solution of each is neutralised by equal volumes of 1N Ca(OH)2.
This is because 100 mL of 1N solution of each corresponds to 0.1N which requiers 0.1N Ca(OH)2.
Thus, the option C is correct.
(D) 100 mL of 1M solution of each is oxidized by equal volumes of 1M KMnO4.
This is because equivalent weight of H2C2O4 and NaHC2O4 are equal to one half of their molecular weights when behaving as reducing agents.
Hence, the option D is correct.
