  • Al\(^{3+}\) and Fe\(^{3+}\)
  • Cr\(^{3+}\) and Al\(^{3+}\)
  • Cu\(^{2+}\) and Al\(^{3+}\)
  • None of these

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
In presence of NH\(_4\)Cl, NH\(_4\)OH acts as a weak base.
Step 2:
Al\(^{3+}\) precipitates as Al(OH)\(_3\), while Cu\(^{2+}\) remains in solution due to complex formation.
