Solution

The correct options are
A 2H2S (g)+SO2 (g)3S (s)+2H2O (g)
B 2Ag2+ (aq)+Ag (s)2Ag+ (g)
A reaction in which an element in a higher oxidation state reacts with the same element in a lower oxidation state to give the element in an intermediate oxidation state is known as comproportionation or symproportionation.
In option A:
2H22S (g)++4SO2 (g)30S (s)+2H2O (g)
Sulphur in 2 and +4 oxidation states changes to 0 oxidation state.
In option B:
2Ag2+ (aq)+0Ag (s)2Ag+ (g)
Here silver in +2 and 0 states changes to +1 state.
