- The melting point of Mn is lower than Fe because Mn has a lower atomic number and a less stable crystal structure compared to Fe.
- The melting point of Tc is lower than Ru due to the differences in atomic structure and bonding.
- The melting point of Re is lower than Os because Os has a higher atomic number and stronger metallic bonding, leading to a higher melting point. Thus, the correct answer is \( {Mn}<{Fe}, \ {Tc}<{Ru} \ {and} \ {Re}<{Os} \).

1.24 g of $ {AX}_2 $ (molar mass 124 g mol$^{-1}$) is dissolved in 1 kg of water to form a solution with boiling point of 100.105$^\circ$C, while 2.54 g of $ {AY}_2 $ (molar mass 250 g mol$^{-1}$) in 2 kg of water constitutes a solution with a boiling point of 100.026$^\circ$C. $ K_{b(H_2O)} = 0.52 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1} $. Which of the following is correct?
For the reaction:

The correct order of set of reagents for the above conversion is :

\[ f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1 - 2x & \text{if } x < -1 \\ \frac{1}{3}(7 + 2|x|) & \text{if } -1 \leq x \leq 2 \\ \frac{11}{18} (x-4)(x-5) & \text{if } x > 2 \end{array} \right. \]
