Detailed Solution

Larger the reduction potential, larger the oxidation tendency of the ion being reduced. Hence, the oxidizing tendency follows the order Pb4+>Hg2+>Sn4+

Lesser the reduction potential, larger the reduction tendency of the ion formed in the reduction reaction. Hence, the reducing tendency follows the order Sn2+>Hg2+>Pb2+
