Solution

The correct option is A More by K2Cr2O7
K2Cr2O7 In acidic medium Cr+6 goes to Cr+3 state and hence there is a net gain of 3 electrons. As there are 2 moles of Cr in K2Cr2O7
The equivalent moles of K2Cr2O7=6
Normality N1=0.1M×6=0.6N
KMnO4 In Acidic medium, Mn+7 goes toMn+2 state and hence there is a net gain of 5 electrons
The equivalent moles of KMnO4=5
Normality N2=0.1M×5=0.5N

If the equal volumes of both are used that means more of Fe2+ will be neutralized by K2Cr2O7 as it is having 65 more electrons to gain then KMnO4
