Correct answer: B

  1. We check each proposed test of K4[Fe(CN)6]\mathrm{K}_4[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6]K4​[Fe(CN)6​] (potassium ferrocyanide) with the given cations.

  2. Statement (A): CuSO4+K4[Fe(CN)6]→Cu2[Fe(CN)6]↓\mathrm{CuSO_4} + \mathrm{K}_4[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6] \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu_2[Fe(CN)_6]}\downarrowCuSO4​+K4​[Fe(CN)6​]→Cu2​[Fe(CN)6​]↓ Copper(II) gives a chocolate brown precipitate with ferrocyanide in acetic acid medium.

    So, (A) is correct.

  3. Statement (B): 4Fe3++3[Fe(CN)6]4−→Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3↓4\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} + 3[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6]^{4-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_4[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6]_3\downarrow4Fe3++3[Fe(CN)6​]4−→Fe4​[Fe(CN)6​]3​↓ Ferric ion with ferrocyanide gives Prussian blue precipitate.

    So, (B) is correct.

  4. Statement (C): Zinc salt with potassium ferrocyanide gives a white to bluish white precipitate of zinc ferrocyanide, especially on neutralisation with NH4OH\mathrm{NH_4OH}NH4​OH.

    Therefore, (C) is correct.

  5. Statement (D): Magnesium does not give a blue precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide. This observation is not a standard confirmatory test for Mg2+\mathrm{Mg^{2+}}Mg2+.

    So, (D) is incorrect.

  6. Statement (E): Barium with potassium ferrocyanide followed by neutralisation with NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH is not the standard test giving the stated white precipitate in this context.

    So, (E) is incorrect.

  7. Hence the correct set is: A, B, C onlyA,\ B,\ C \text{ only}A, B, C only

  8. This corresponds to Option B.
