The blue borax bead is obtained by which of the following?

$Cu^{2+}$ aqueous solution has . . . . . . colour.

The oxoanion in which the oxidation state of the central atom is same as its group number in the periodic table is

In the scheme given below,$X$ and $Y$,respectively,are:
$\text{Metal halide} \xrightarrow{\text{aq. NaOH}} \text{White precipitate } (P) + \text{Filtrate } (Q)$
$P \xrightarrow[\text{heat}]{\text{aq. } H_2SO_4, PbO_2 (\text{excess})} X (\text{a coloured species in solution})$
$Q$ $\xrightarrow[\text{warm}]{\text{MnO(OH)}_2, \text{Conc. } H_2SO_4} Y (\text{gives blue-coloration with KI-starch paper})$

$A$ metal $M$ which is not affected by strong acids like conc. $HNO_3$,conc. $H_2SO_4$ and conc. solutions of alkalies like $NaOH$,$KOH$ forms $MCl_3$,which finds use for toning in photography. The metal $M$ is:

Assertion : Coloured cations can be identified by borax bead test.
Reason : Transparent bead $(NaBO_2 + B_2O_3)$ forms coloured bead with coloured cation.
