(a) (i) Cr3+ is most stable in aqeous solution. according to crystal field Theory it has t2g3 and is extremely stable
(ii) Mn3+ is a strong oxidising because it can easily be converted to Mn2+ having ds configuration which is extra stable
(iii) Ti4+ is colourless because it has 3d0 configuration and therefore no unpair electrons.
(b) (i)2MnO^{-}_{4}+16H^{+}+5s^{2-}\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+5s+8H_{2}O
      (ii) 2KMnO_{4}\overset{\Delta }{\rightarrow}K_{2}MnO_{4}+MnO_{2}+O_{2}
