the anseqr will be (d) it will be easy if you know the reaction Mn(2+) in acidic medium
MnO4(-1) +8H(+) +5 Fe(2+)---------Mn(2+) +5Fe3+ +4H2O

clearly 5 mole of iron react with 1 mole of mno4-
therefore10×.1=1millimole of iron will react with 1/5×1=.2millimole

thNks and regards

The nfactor of KMNO4 FOR THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR ITS REACTION IN ACIDIC MEDIUM.
KMNO4 ------------MN+2
The change in oxidation no is 5
Hence 
N1VI = N2V2
FOR  FESO4 N1VI = 10 * 2/10
=2 
For option 4 N2V2 WILL BE
10* 0.02 * 5 
=1
HENCE N1VI =N2V2
