Zinc dissolves in excess of aqueous alkali

Zn+2OH+2H2O[Zn(OH)4]2+H2                                            Tetrahydorxozincate(ii)ion

However, this reaction in NCERT is given as

Zn+2NaOHN2ZnO2+H2

ZnO2 is anhydrous form of [Zn(OH)4]2

So in aqueous medium best answer of this question is 

[Zm(OH)4]2
