Given below are two statements :

Statement I : Permutit process is more efficient compared to the synthetic resin method for the softening of water.

Statement II : Synthetic resin method results in the formation of soluble sodium salts.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$$\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$$ is titrated with ferrous ammonium sulphate hexahydrate in presence of dilute $$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$$. Number of water molecules produced for 2 molecules of $$\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$$ is ___________.

An organic compound gives $$0.220 \mathrm{~g}$$ of $$\mathrm{CO}_{2}$$ and $$0.126 \mathrm{~g}$$ of $$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$ on complete combustion. If the $$\%$$ of carbon is 24 then the $$\%$$ of hydrogen is __________ $$\times 10^{-1}$$. ( Nearest integer)

$$\mathrm{t}_{87.5}$$ is the time required for the reaction to undergo $$87.5 \%$$ completion and $$\mathrm{t}_{50}$$ is the time required for the reaction to undergo $$50 \%$$ completion. The relation between $$\mathrm{t}_{87.5}$$ and $$\mathrm{t}_{50}$$ for a first order reaction is $$\mathrm{t}_{87.5}=x \times \mathrm{t}_{50}$$ The value of $$x$$ is ___________. (Nearest integer)
