Cu is placed above Ag in the activity series and hence, Cu displaces Ag from a solution of AgNO3 2Ag NO3(aq) + Cu(s) arrow Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)

Q. Copper displaces silver from silver nitrate solution. Hence

copper is more electropositive than silver

silver is more electropositive than copper

copper is a coinage metal

silver is more powerful reducing agent than copper

$C u$ is placed above $A g$ in the activity series and hence, $C u$ displaces $A g$ from a solution of $A g N O_{3}$
$2 A g N O_{3 (a q)} + C u_{(s)} \to C u (N O_{3})_{2 (a q)} + 2 A g_{(s)}$

Cu is placed above Ag in the activity series and hence, Cu displaces Ag from a solution of AgNO3​ 2AgNO3(aq)​+Cu(s)​→Cu(NO3​)2(aq)​+2Ag(s)​

$C u$ is placed above $A g$ in the activity series and hence, $C u$ displaces $A g$ from a solution of $A g N O_{3}$
$2 A g N O_{3 (a q)} + C u_{(s)} \to C u (N O_{3})_{2 (a q)} + 2 A g_{(s)}$
