Q. Consider the following reaction occuring in basic medium
$2 M n O_{4}^{-} (a q) + B r^{-} (a q) \to 2 M n O_{2} (s) + B r O_{3}^{-} (a q)$
How the above reaction can be balanced further?

By adding $2 O H^{-}$ ions on right side

By adding one $H_{2} O$ molecule to left side

By adding $2 H^{+}$ ions on right side

Both (a) and (b)

Correct answer is (d) Both (a) and (b)
