An orange-coloured solution of K₂Cr₂O₇ is acidified with H₂SO₄ and treated with H₂O₂ resulting in a blue coloured solution. The blue colour is due to the formation of

$\mathrm{Fe}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\stackrel{1023-1073\mathrm{K}}{\to } \mathrm{Product}$
$\left(\mathrm{Steam}\right)$
$\mathrm{Product} \mathrm{formed} \mathrm{is}$
$1. \mathrm{FeO}+{\mathrm{H}}_2$

2. ${\mathrm{Fe}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

3. ${\mathrm{Fe}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3+{\mathrm{H}}_2$

4. ${\mathrm{Fe}}_3{\mathrm{O}}_4+{\mathrm{H}}_2$

Which of the following gives $H_{2 }when reacts with dil. HN{O}_3?$

1. Mn
