    For \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\] and \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\] the correct choice is [IIT Screening 2003]

    A)                 \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\] is dibasic and reducing

    B)                 \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\] is dibasic and non-reducing

    C)                 \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\] is tribasic and reducing

    D)                 \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\]  is tribasic and non-reducing

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

              \[H-O-\underset{O}{\overset{H}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\overset{|}{\mathop{P}}}\,}}}\,-OH\], hence it is dibasic. It acts as reducing agent also.
