To match the acids from list-I with their corresponding characteristics from list-II, let's analyze each acid and its properties:

Acid Properties Overview

  • A. Hypophosphoric acid (H₄P₂O₆):
    • Non-reducing
    • Phosphorus in +4 state
    • P-P bond
  • B. Isohypophosphoric acid (H₄P₂O₆):
    • Phosphorus in +3 state
    • P-O-P bond
  • C. Pyrophosphorous acid (H₄P₂O₅):
    • Phosphorus in +3 state
    • P-P bond
  • D. Pyrophosphoric acid (H₄P₂O₇):
    • Non-reducing
    • P-O-P bond

Matching Analysis

Now, let's match each acid with the correct characteristics:

  • A matches with 1 (Non-reducing), 2 (P in +4 state), and 4 (P-P bond).
  • B matches with 3 (P in +3 state) and 5 (P-O-P bond).
  • C matches with 3 (P in +3 state) and 5 (P-O-P bond).
  • D matches with 1 (Non-reducing) and 5 (P-O-P bond).

Final Matching

The correct match is:

A-1,2,4; B-3,5; C-3,5; D-1,5

Thus, the answer is option a.
