  • A
    pink to colourless
  • B
    pinkish red to yellow
  • C
    colourless to pink
  • D

In an acidic medium, $10 mL$ of $0.25 M$ oxalic acid is titrated with $KMnO_4$ solution. If the volume of $KMnO_4$ solution required to reach the end point is $10 mL$, the strength of the $KMnO_4$ solution is (in $M$)

Can titrations with $KMnO_4$ be performed in the presence of $HCl$? Why?
