    A)  \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}S]\]

    B)  \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NCS]\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]\]

    D)  \[N{{a}_{2}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]\]

    E)  \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}S]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Sodium thionitroprusside,\[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]\] gives violet colour in Lassagines test for sulphur with sodium nitroprusside. \[\underset{\text{sodium}\,\,\text{extract}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}S}}\,+\underset{\text{sodium}\,\,\text{nitroprusside}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NO]}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[\underset{\text{purple}\,\,\text{(violet)}\,\,\text{colour}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]}}\,\]
