Problem

Consider the following reaction :

x\text{MnO}_4^- + y \text{C}_2\text{O}_4^{2-} + z\text{H}^+ \longrightarrow x\text{Mn}^{2+} + 2y \text{CO}_2 + \frac{z}{2} \text{H}_2\text{O}

The values of x, y and z in the reaction are, respectively : [JEE (Main) 2013] (1) 2, 5 and 16 (2) 5, 2 and 8 (3) 5, 2 and 16 (4) 2, 5 and 8
