Thiosulphate reacts differently with iodine and bromine in the reactions given below: 
 \(2 \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{2-}+\mathrm{I}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{~S}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{6}^{2-}+2 \Gamma\)
 \(\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{2-}+5 \mathrm{Br}_{2}+5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}+4 \mathrm{Br}^{-}+10 \mathrm{H}^{+}\)
 Which of the following statement justifies the above dual behaviour of thiosulphate?
   (Jee Main 2024)
  1. Bromine is a stronger oxidant than iodine.
  2. Thiosulphate undergoes oxidation by bromine and reduction by iodine in these reaction.
  3. Bromine is a weaker oxidant than iodine.
  4. Bromine undergoes oxidation and iodine undergoes reduction in these reactions.

Answer

(A) Bromine is a stronger oxidant than iodine.
