MnO-4 ion reacts with Cl- to produce Cl2 and Mn2+.

Q. Statement 1: Permanganate titrations in presence of hydrochloric acid are unsatisfactory
Statement 2: Hydrochloric acid is oxidised to chlorine by $M n O_{4}^{-}$

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation o f the statement 1.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation o f the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

$M n O_{4}^{-}$ ion reacts with $C l^{-}$ to produce $C l_{2}$ and $M n^{2 + .}$
