Solution

The correct option is B 2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5(COOH)2K2SO4+2MnSO4+8H2O+10CO2
2KMnO4+3H2SO4K2SO4+2MnSO4+3H2O+5[O]
[(COOH)2+[O]2CO2+H2O]×5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5(COOH)2K2SO4+2MnSO4+8H2O+10CO2


The balanced reaction is :

2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5(COOH)2K2SO4+2MnSO4+8H2O+10CO2

Hence,option A is correct.
