(C)  Basic character increases from V2O3 to V2O4 to V2O5.
(D)  V2O4 dissolves in acids to give VO43- salts. 
(E)   CrO is basic but Cr2O3 is amphoteric.

4 B and D only  

Ans.

(1)

In vanadium, there is gradual change of basic character from the basic V2O3 to less basic V2O4 and to amphoteric V2O5V2O4 dissolves in acids to give VO+2 salts.
