Detailed Solution

EZn+2/ZnoCd>Pb>H2>Cu>AgBlue colour is due to formation of Cu+2 which is possible when Cu looses 2 electrons. All electrodes having SRP values lesser than SRP of Cu reduces Cu+2 and that electrode having SRP greater than SRP of Cu oxidises Cu metal to Cu+2.SRP of Ag electrode is more than SRP of Cu electrode hence AgNO3 solution turns to blue.
