Assertion (A) $- Mn ^{2+}$ is more stable than $Mn ^{4+}$
Reason $(R)- Mn ^{2+}\left(3 d^5\right)$ is more stable than $Mn ^{4+}\left(3 d^3\right)$ is due to extra stability of half-filled electronic configuration.

(A): The bond angle (C – O – H) in methanol is reduced to 108.9° from the regular tetra hedral bond angle of 109.5°.
