$Zn$ and $Cd$ metals do not show variable valency because

An element having the electronic configuration $[Ar]3d^24s^2$ belongs to

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Generally, $3d$ transition metals have high melting points.
Reason $R$: Involvement of $3d$-electrons in addition to $4s$-electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Select the correct order of ionic radii for the given ions:

Match the metal ions given in Column-$I$ with the spin magnetic moments of the ions given in Column-$II$ and assign the correct code.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a) \ Co^{3+}$	$(i) \ \sqrt{8} \ B.M.$
$(b) \ Cr^{3+}$	$(ii) \ \sqrt{35} \ B.M.$
$(c) \ Fe^{3+}$	$(iii) \ \sqrt{3} \ B.M.$
$(d) \ Ni^{2+}$	$(iv) \ \sqrt{24} \ B.M.$
	$(v) \ \sqrt{15} \ B.M.$

$(a) \quad (b) \quad (c) \quad (d)$

The electronic configuration of the last element of the volatile metal group is:
