Which from the following is the general formula of the compound obtained when lanthanoid $(Ln)$ reacts with carbon at elevated temperature?

$X + KOH + O_2 \to Y + H_2O$,
$Y + H_2SO_4 \to Z + K_2SO_4 + MnO_2 + H_2O$
Identify $X, Y$ and $Z$ in the above reactions.

Thermal decomposition of a $Mn$ compound $(X)$ at $513 \ K$ results in compound $Y$,$MnO_2$ and a gaseous product. $MnO_2$ reacts with $NaCl$ and concentrated $H_2SO_4$ to give a pungent gas $Z$. Identify $X, Y$ and $Z$.

The amphoteric oxide of Vanadium $(V)$ is $V_2O_5$. It reacts with alkali to form an oxoion '$X$' and with acid to form an oxoion '$Y$'. The oxidation states of '$V$' in '$X$' and '$Y$' are respectively:
