    D)         + 8

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements in a compound is zero. Let the oxidation number of Cr be \[x\] \[\therefore \]  for\[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]                 \[+\,1\times 2+2x+7(-2)=0\]                 \[2+2x-14=0\]                 \[2x=12\] \[x=6\]
