$A$ $1.0 \ M$ solution with respect to each of the metal halides $AX_3, BX_2, CX_3$ and $DX_2$ is electrolysed using platinum electrodes. If
$E^o_{A^{3+}/A} = 1.50 \ V, \quad E^o_{B^{2+}/B} = 0.3 \ V,$
$E^o_{C^{3+}/C} = -0.74 \ V, \quad E^o_{D^{2+}/D} = -2.37 \ V.$
The correct sequence in which the various metals are deposited at the cathode is

  • A
    $A, B, C, D$
  • B
    $A, B, C$
  • C
    $D, C, B, A$
  • D
    $C, B, A$
