Detailed Solution

Sulfites produce SO2 gas, which smells of burning sulfur, when treated with dilute acid. They turn acidified K2Cr2O7 from orange to green because of reduction of chromium ion(in dichromate solution) to +3 oxidation state.

Acidified K2Cr2O7 solution turns green when Na2SO3 is added to it. This is due to the formation of Cr2SO43.

K2Cr2O7+3Na2SO3+4H2SO4Cr2SO43+K2SO4+3Na2SO4+4H2O.

Hence, the correct options are (b, d).
