E^{0}_{M^{2+}/M}\; \; \; -0.91\; \; \; -1.18\; \; \;\; -0.44\; \; \; -0.28

E^{0}_{M^{3+}/M}\; \; \; -0.41\; \; \; +1.57\; \; \;\; +0.77\; \; \; +1.97

(a) Cr^{2+} because lower the E^{0} value, more is the tendency of metal to get oxidised and hence stronger reducing agent.

(b) Mn^{+2} is most stable ion due to presence half filled extra stable d^{5} configuration.
