Solution

The correct options are
A equivalent weight of Cu2S=M18
B equivalent weight of CuS=M26
In Cu2S:
Change in oxidation state of S =+4(2)=6.
Change in oxidation state of Cu+=(+2×2)(2×1)=2.
So, eq. wt of Cu2S=M16+2=8.
In CuS:
Change in oxidation state of S =+4(2)=6.
Change in oxidation state of Cu+=(+2×2)(2×2)=0.
So, eq. wt of Cu2S=M16+0=6.
Also,
eq. wt. of Ba(MnO4)2=M32×5=10.
