\\\( \mathrm{Zn}+2 \mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{ZnO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \) \\\( \mathrm{Zn}+2 \mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \)

According to stoichiometry in both the reactions, an equal number of moles of H2 are evolved.

Hence, the Option number (3) is correct.
