"a" and "b" are disproportionation reactions.

Step by step explanation:

Disproportionation reaction

In this reaction, a molecule is dissociated into two products, one of higher oxidation state and another of lower oxidation state than compare to the reactant molecule.

Disproportionation reaction is a typical reduction reaction.

From the given reactions,

(a)

$\bold{2Cu^{+}\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+Cu}$

In this reaction, reactant copper has +1 charge, where as product copper has +2(higher) and another copper has zero (less).

(b)

$\bold{3MnO_{4}^{2-}+4H^{+}\rightarrow 2MnO_{4}^{-}+MnO_{2}+2H_{2}O}$

$MnO_{4}^{2-}$ has -6 oxidation state in product side. And product side it has -1 and +4.

Therefore, "a" and "b" are disproportionation reactions.

Hence, correct option is 1.

Which of the following reactions are disproportionation reaction

"a" and "b" are disproportionation reactions.
