Correct Answer - A,D
(A)As number of reducing hydrogen increases , the reducing character also increases . In `H_3PO_4` there is no reducing hydrogen so it should be least reducing . Correct order is `H_3PO_2 gt H_3PO_3 gt H_3PO_4`
(B)+1 lt +2 lt +3 lt +5
(C )down the group the availability of lone pair of electrons decreses as they are present in more concentrated s-orbital
(D)As down the group bond energy decreases, the removal of H becomes easier. so correct order is `SbH_3 gt AsH_3 gt PH_3 gt NH_3`
