The correct answer is: $-1.66,+1.26$
($\mathrm{Al}^{3+}$ is much more stable than $\mathrm{Al}$ and due to electropositive nature, the standard reduction potential of $\mathrm{Al}^{3+} / \mathrm{Al}$ is negative.
$\mathrm{Tl}$ is not as electropositive as $\mathrm{Al}$ and therefore $\mathrm{Tl}^{3+}$ can easily be reduced to Tl because of which its SEP value is positive.
