Statement – a – incorrect . 
H3PO4Ka1H++H2PO4H2PO4Ka2H++HPO42HPO42Ka3H++PO43
pHH2PO4=PKa1+PKa22 this is valid only when H3PO4 during titration is completely converted to H2PO42
HPO42Ka3H++PO43
pHH2PO42=PKa2+PKa32 This again valid when starting with H2PO42 and is completely converted to H2PO42
Statement – b –correct .
Ka –value decreases successively. Since it is difficult to remove H+ - ion from an anion than a neutral compound. Similarly it is difficult to remove H+ - ion from an Ionian than and anion. Hence Ka1>Ka2>Ka3.
Statement – c –correct .
From Ka - value, it is evident that, both H3PO4&H2PO4 are more acidic the H2PO42
Statement – d – incorrect .
Both H2PO4and HPO42  are amphiprotic anions in the solution.
