Fusion of $MnO _2$ with $KOH$ in presence of $O _2$ produces a salt $W$. Alkaline solution of $W$ upon eletrolytic oxidation yields another salt $X$. The manganese containing ions present in $W$ and $X$, respectively, are $Y$ and $Z$. Correct statement($s$) is (are)

$(1)$ $Y$ is diamagnetic in nature while $Z$ is paramagnetic

$(2)$ Both $Y$ and $Z$ are coloured and have tetrahedral shape

$(3)$ In both $Y$ and $Z , \pi$-bonding occurs between $p$-orbitals of oxygen and $d$-orbitals of manganese.

$(4)$ In aqueous acidic solution, $Y$ undergoes disproportionation reaction to give $Z$ and $MnO _2$.
