The correct answer is: (i) and (v)
Outer electronic configuration of Mn is 3d54s2 which means it exhibits +7 oxidation state
Zinc does not form coloured ions as it has completely filled 3d104s2 configuration.
In [CoF6]3-,Co3+ is a d7 system. Fluoride is a weak field ligand and hence it can not cause pairing of electrons.

Sc can form a maximum of +3 oxidation state as it has an outer electronic configuration of 3d14s2 .
Zn exhibits only +2 oxidation state as this O.S. is the most stable one for it.
Hence i, v are correct while ii,iii,iv are incorrect.
