Answer #1

The only two species that would give color change are

nitrite ( NO2- )

sulfite ( SO3-2 )

This is because as KMno4 is oxiding agent in this reaction so it do not behave as O.A untill the species which can be oxidized . Here in these 2 species the Oxidation state of N is +3 and for S is +4 so , it can be able to reduce or oxidize to +5 and +6 respectively and we obssrve color change while other are already present in maximum oxidation state . So it can reduce not oxidize.
