Explanation / Answer

Every metal is associated with some reduction potential values which signifies how easily they can accept electron and reduce. If a metal ion reduces very easily, it will act as an oxiding agent for any metal with a lower value of reduction potential. In short , between metal A and B if A has a higher value of reduction potential than B, then A will oxidise B and will itself get reduced.

The reduction potential values of four metal Zn, Fe, Cu and Ag is as follows:

Zn ==> -0.76 V

Fe ==> -0.44 V

Cu ==> +0.34 V

Ag ==> +0.80V

Cell A1 ==> brown ppt Cu^2+ + Zn ---> Cu + Zn ^2+

Cell A2 ==> brown ppt    Cu^2+ + Fe ---> Cu + Fe ^2+

Cell A3 ==> no reaction

Cell B1 ==> blue solution    Cu + 2Fe^3+ --> 2Fe^2+ + Cu^2+

Cell B2 ==> yellow solution   Zn + 2Fe^3+ ----> 2Fe^2+ + Zn ^2+

Cell B3 ==> No reaction
