    C)  both [a] and [b]

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Sum of oxidation number of all elements in a compound is always zero. [a] Let oxidation number of F in \[{{F}_{2}}O=x\] \[\therefore \] \[2x+(-2)=0\] \[x=+\,1\] [b] Let oxidation number of F in\[N{{F}_{3}}=x\] \[\therefore \] \[+\,3+\,3x=0\] \[\therefore \] \[x=-1\]
