Which of the following is the use of potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$?

Manganese steel is used for making railway tracks because

Silver halides are used in photography because:

When an oxide of manganese $(A)$ is fused with $KOH$ in the presence of an oxidising agent and dissolved in water,it gives a dark green solution of compound $(B)$. Compound $(B)$ disproportionates in neutral or acidic solution to give purple compound $(C)$. An alkaline solution of compound $(C)$ oxidises potassium iodide solution to a compound $(D)$ and compound $(A)$ is also formed. Identify compounds $A$ to $D$ and also explain the reactions involved.

The highest oxidation state of $Mn$ is exhibited in $Mn_2O_7$. The correct statements about $Mn_2O_7$ are:
$(A)$ $Mn$ is tetrahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms.
$(B)$ $Mn$ is octahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms.
$(C)$ Contains $Mn-O-Mn$ bridge.
$(D)$ Contains $Mn-Mn$ bond.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Which one of the following,when dissolved in water,gives a coloured solution in a nitrogen atmosphere?
