Consider the following statement in respect of Lantinanoids : (i) The basic strength of hydroxides of lanthanoids increases from La (OH)_(3) to Lu (OH)_(3) . (ii) The lanthanoid ions Lu^(3+), Yb^(2+) and Ce^(4+) are diamagnetic. Which of the statements (s) given above is /are correct ?

A: La(OH)_(3) , is less basic than Lu(OH)_(3) , R: Basic character of hydroxides of lanthanoids increase on moving from La^(+3) to Lu^(+3)

Assertion : La(OH)_3 is more basic than Lu(OH)_3 . Reason : Basic character of hydroxides of lanthanoids decrease on moving from La^(3+) to Lu^(3+)

Consider the following statements: (I) La (OH)_(3) is the least basic among the hydroxides of Ianthanoids. (II) Zr^(4+) and Hf^(4+) possess almost same ionic radii. (III) Cr^(4+) can act as an oxidising agent . which of the above statement is/ are true?
