Detailed Solution

Prussian blue is produced by combining  Fe2+ with MnO4/H+. As oxidising agents, they change ferrous metal into ferric ions. This ferric ion interacts with K4Fe(CN)6 to produce ferric Ferro cyanide, which has the colour of Prussian blue.

MnO4/H+[O];Fe2+Fe3+Fe3++K4Fe(CN)6Fe4Fe(CN)63+4K+

Hence, MnO4/H+ does not give Prussian blue colour with K4Fe(CN)6
