Detailed Solution

 Cl2\Cl-I2/I-Ag+/AgNa+/NaLi+/Li
E0
[In volts]
+1.36+0.53+0.76-2.71-3.04[Reduction Potential]
 -1.36-0.53-0.79+2.71+3.04[Oxidation potential]

The given electrode potentials are reduction potentials of Cl2 , I2 , Ag+,Na+ & Li+
Reduction potentials value 

\large \propto

easy of reduction themselves
Oxidation potential values 

\large \propto

easy of oxidation themselves
Reduction potential values increases means reduction themselves increases that mean their oxidising power increases, hence their reducing power decrease
Hint
Oxidation potential values 

\large \propto

reducing power
Reduction potentials value 

\large \propto

oxidising power
Reducing strength
Li > Na > I- > Ag > Cl-
