The strength of a reducing agent is determined by the ability of its ion to donate electrons. The element Eu (Europium) in its \( \text{Eu}^{2+} \) state can easily lose an electron to form \( \text{Eu}^{3+} \), making it a strong reducing agent. The reduction process is as follows:
\(\text{Eu}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Eu}^{3+} + e^-\)
This shows that \( \text{Eu}^{2+} \) acts as a strong reducing agent.
Thus, the correct answer is 3, which corresponds to \( \text{Eu}^{2+} \).
The Correct Answer is: $\text{Eu}^{2+}$

The above are the two series of f-block elements in which the chemical properties won’t change much. The 5f-series elements are radioactive in nature and mostly are artificially synthesized in laboratories and thus much is not known about their chemical properties.
Let \( y = f(x) \) be the solution of the differential equation
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} + 3y \tan^2 x + 3y = \sec^2 x \]
such that \( f(0) = \frac{e^3}{3} + 1 \), then \( f\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) \) is equal to:
Find the IUPAC name of the compound.
If \( \lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{\tan x}{x} \right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}} = p \), then \( 96 \ln p \) is: 32
