On the basis of the following $E^o$ values,the strongest oxidizing agent is:
$[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \to [Fe(CN)_6]^{3-} + e^-; E^o = -0.35 \ V$
$Fe^{2+} \to Fe^{3+} + e^-; E^o = -0.77 \ V$

The standard oxidation potentials for the half-reactions are given as $Zn \to Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}; E^o = +0.76 \ V$ and $Fe \to Fe^{2+} + 2e^{-}; E^o = +0.41 \ V$. The $EMF$ for the cell reaction $Fe^{2+} + Zn \to Zn^{2+} + Fe$ is ............ $V$.

Assertion : Copper reacts with $HCl$ and liberates hydrogen.
Reason : Hydrogen is present above $Cu$ in the reactivity series.

Electrode potential data are given below :
$Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + e^- \to Fe^{2+}_{(aq)}; \, E^o = +0.77 \, V$
$Al^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3e^- \to Al_{(s)}; \, E^o = -1.66 \, V$
$Br_{2(aq)} + 2e^- \to 2Br^{-}_{(aq)}; \, E^o = +1.08 \, V$
Based on the data given above,the reducing power of $Fe^{2+}$,$Al$ and $Br^{-}$ will increase in the order:
