Standard electrode potential of three metals $X$,$Y$ and $Z$ are $-1.2 \, V$,$+0.5 \, V$ and $-3.0 \, V$ respectively. The reducing power of these metals will be

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:

$Cu^{+} + e^- \to Cu$ ; $E^o = X_1 \ V$
$Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \to Cu$ ; $E^o = X_2 \ V$
Then for $Cu^{2+} + e^- \to Cu^{+}$ ; $E^o$ will be ?

$K, Ca$ and $Li$ metals may be arranged in the decreasing order of their standard electrode potentials as

Assertion : $Cu^{2+}$ ions get reduced more easily than $H^{+}$ ions.
Reason : Standard electrode potential of copper is $0.34 \ V$.
