A student takes Cu, Al, Fe and Zn strips, separately in four test tubes labeled as I, II, III and IV respectively. He adds 10 ml of freshly prepared ferrous sulphate solution to each test tube and observes the colour of the metal residue in each case.
He would observe a black residue in the test tubes:
- (a)(I) and (II)
- (b)(I) and (III)
- (c)(II) and (III)
- (d)(II) and (IV)

(II) and (IV)
Reason — Metals more reactive than iron (Al and Zn) displace Fe from FeSO4, depositing black iron residue, while Cu and Fe do not react.
