Correct answer: A

  1. We evaluate each option using standard qualitative inorganic chemistry facts.

  2. Option A: From a mixed precipitate of AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}AgCl and AgI\mathrm{AgI}AgI, ammonia solution dissolves only AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}AgCl.

    • AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}AgCl dissolves in aqueous ammonia due to complex formation: AgCl+2NH3→[Ag(NH3)2]++Cl−\mathrm{AgCl + 2NH_3 \rightarrow [Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + Cl^-}AgCl+2NH3​→[Ag(NH3​)2​]++Cl−
    • AgI\mathrm{AgI}AgI does not dissolve in ammonia because it is much less soluble and does not form the complex sufficiently.

    Therefore, A is correct.

  3. Option B: Ferric ions give a deep green precipitate on adding potassium ferrocyanide solution.

    • Fe3+\mathrm{Fe^{3+}}Fe3+ with potassium ferrocyanide gives Prussian blue coloration/precipitate, not deep green.
    • The product is ferric ferrocyanide.

    Therefore, B is incorrect.

  4. Option C: On boiling a solution having K+\mathrm{K^+}K+, Ca2+\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}Ca2+ and HCO3−\mathrm{HCO_3^-}HCO3−​ ions we get a precipitate of K2Ca(CO3)2\mathrm{K_2Ca(CO_3)_2}K2​Ca(CO3​)2​.

    • On boiling bicarbonate solution, bicarbonate decomposes: 2HCO3−→CO32−+CO2+H2O2\mathrm{HCO_3^-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO_3^{2-} + CO_2 + H_2O}2HCO3−​→CO32−​+CO2​+H2​O
    • Then Ca2+\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}Ca2+ forms insoluble calcium carbonate: Ca2++CO32−→CaCO3↓\mathrm{Ca^{2+} + CO_3^{2-} \rightarrow CaCO_3\downarrow}Ca2++CO32−​→CaCO3​↓
    • Potassium salts remain soluble; no such precipitate K2Ca(CO3)2\mathrm{K_2Ca(CO_3)_2}K2​Ca(CO3​)2​ is formed.

    Therefore, C is incorrect.

  5. Option D: Manganese salts give a violet borax bead test in the reducing flame.

    • Manganese gives an amethyst/violet bead in oxidizing flame.
    • In reducing flame, the color changes and is not violet as stated.

    Therefore, D is incorrect.

  6. Hence, the only correct statement is: A\boxed{\text{A}}A​
