Given below are two statements:
Statement I:

Iodide ions (I⁻) can be independently oxidized to iodine (I₂) by iron(III) catalyst, acidified K₂Cr₂O₇, and neutral KMnO₄

Statement II: The manganate ion (MnO₄²⁻) is paramagnetic in nature and involves pπ – pπ bonding.
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are True
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
3. Statement I is True, but Statement II is False
4. Statement I is False, but Statement II is True

Correct statement for the given reaction is: 
\(\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7{ }^{2-}(a q)+\mathrm{SO}_3{ }^{2-}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(a q)+\mathrm{SO}_4{ }^{2-}(a q)\) 

1. Generally \(SO_4^{2-}\) is not a reducing agent. 
2. \(Cr^{3+} \) can be further reduced in this reaction. 
3. Oxidation by \(SO_3^{2-} \) gives \(Cr^{3+} \)
4. In \(Cr_2O^{2-}_7 \) oxidation state of Cr is not +6.
