An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

Both contain same number of unprotonated oxygen atoms and hence both will have same acidic strength

In both these oxoacids the number of $d π - p π$ bonds are equal.

$H_{2} X e O_{4}$ is distorted tetrahedral while $H_{4} X e O_{6}$ is octahedral

Oxidation power of both the oxoacids are not equal

answer is B, C, D.

But have same number of unprotonated oxygen atoms. As/the oxidation state of Xe in $H_{4} X e O_{6}$ is more it will act as stronger acid which is a general trend that acidic strength of an oxoacid increases with increases in oxidation state. The number of $d π - p π$ bonds in both the oxoacids is same. On $H_{2} X e O_{4}$ , Xenon atom is involved in $s p^{3} d$ hybridization and is trigonal bipyramid with a lone line pair on equatorial position.
In $H_{4} X e O_{6}$ Xenon is involved in $s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridization and is octahedral. Oxidation state of Xenon in $H_{4} X e O_{6}$ is + 6 and in $H_{4} X e O_{6}$ is + 8. Perxenic acid is stronger oxidizing agent than xenicacid
