Assertion, A: Presence of Ba2+, Sr·, and Ca2 + must be tested in the same order.
Reasoning, R: Otherwise, testing for Sr2+ first may be mistaken for the precipitates of BaS04 or SrS04 Similarly, testing for Ca2 + first may be mistaken for the precipitates of oxalates of Ba2+, Sr2+. or Ca2 +
(1) A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. (2) A and R both are correct but R is not the correct explanation of

I think (4) one is the correct one.
Beacause all have valency +2 and would form the displacement reaction product.
like BaSO4 and SrSO4 has same sulphate ions so doesn’t matter if are tesetd together.
