Detailed Solution

The given reaction is as follows:

MnO4-+Fe2++C2O42-Mn2++Fe3++CO2

The oxidation state of manganese changes from 7 to 2 therefore the n-factor is 5

n-factor of C2O42- is 3

using the relation : moles × n=factor when number of equivalents are equal on both sides.

moles×5=3×1

Therefore moles = 0.6

Hence the correct option is (A).
