Thiosulphate reacts differently with iodine and bromine in the reactio

1.	Thiosulphate reacts differently with iodine and bromine in the reactions given below 2S_(2)O_(3)^(2-) +I_(2)rarrS_(4)O_(6)^(2-)+2I^(-) S_(2)O_(3)^(2-)+2Br_(2)+5H_(2)O rarr 2SO_(4)^(2-) +2Br^(-) +10H^(+) Which of the following statements in correct ?
Answer» a.Bromine is a STRONGER oxidant than iodine b. Bromine is a weaker oxidant than iodine c. Thiosulphate UNDERGOES oxidation by bromine and reduction by iodine in these reactions d. Bromine undergoes oxidation and iodine undergoes reduction in these reactions SOLUTION :`Br_2`is STRONG oxidant than`I_2`
