Solution

Explanation for correct option:

(3) In case to determine the highest Ksp, we have to check its precipitation rate. More easily the compound get precipitate lesser is its Ksp.

Group 2 and group 4 are precipitated as their sulphides. Whereas the Ksp of group 2 is less than group A ions, thus group 2 ions can be easily precipitated.

Hence, option (3) is correct.
