Detailed Solution

The electronic configurations of Cr2+ and Mn3+ is [Ar] 3d5 4s2 and [Ar]3d4 

Because Cr2+ gains Cr3+, which has a more stable  half-filled structure, after losing one electron, Hence,Cr2+ is a powerful reducing agent

Cr2+Cr3++e

Mn3+, on the other hand, works as an oxidising agent because the reduction of Mn3+ to Mn2+ produces the half-filled (d5) structure, which has more stability.
