Answer:

Correct Answer: 20. (a)

Solution:

The balanced redox reaction is :

$2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+5 \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4^{2-}+16 \mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+10 \mathrm{CO}_2+16 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$

Hence, the coefficients of reactants in balanced reaction are 2,5 and 16 respectively.
