Solution

The correct options are
A 25 mL of 0.2MFeSO4 to be oxidized to Fe3+
B 25 mL of 0.1MSnCl2 to be oxidized to Sn4+
D 25 mL of 0.1MH2O2 to be oxidized to H+ and O2
Normality = Molarity x absolute of (total production oxidation state - total reactant oxidation state)
Moles used = volume in liters X Normality
Moles of KMnO4 = 0.025X0.2=0.005
Option A= 0.025X0.2X|(32)|=0.005
Option B= 0.05X0.1X|(53)|=0.01
Option C= 0.025X0.1X|(02)|=0.005
Option D= 0.025X0.1X|(42)|=0.005
Hence Options A,C and D are correct
