(i) FeCl3 , SnCl2
 Fe+3  + Sn+2    Fe+2 +Sn+4
Oxidant    reductant
because FeCl2 & SnCl2 react with each other they cannot exist together
 

(ii) HgCl2, SnCl2
   Hg+2 + Sn+2    Hg+ + Sn+4

oxidant      reductant

because HgCl2 & SnCl2 react with each other they cannot exist together
 

(iii) FeCl2, SnCl2
Fe+2 + Sn+2  no reaction
 

(iv) FeCl3 , KI
   Fe+3 +   I-   Fe+2 + I2
Oxidant    reductant
 because Fe+3 & I- react with each other they cannot exist together
therefore I,II,IV  cannot exist
