Solution

The correct option is A E(HSO3)=M2, E(IO3)=M6
The oxidation number of S in HSO3 is +4.
The oxidation number of in SO24 is +6.
Thus, the oxidation number of S changes by 2.
Equivalent weight=Molecular weightChange in the oxidation number
Hence, E=M2
The oxidation number of I in IO3 is +5.
The oxidation number of I in I is -1.
Thus, the oxidation number of S changes by 6.
Equivalent weight=Molecular weightChange in the oxidation number
Hence, E=M6
