More +ve the value of reduction potential more will be the tendency to undergo reduction.

The${\text{E}}_{\text{red}}^{\text{o}}\left({\text{MnO}}_4^{-}|{\text{Mn}}^{2+}\right)=+1.51\text{V}$value is greater than${\text{E}}_{\text{red}}^{\text{o}}\left({\text{Zn}}^{2+}|\text{Zn}\right)=-0.762\text{V}$and${\text{E}}_{\text{red}}^{\text{o}}\left({\text{Ag}}^{+}|\text{Ag}\right)=+0.80\text{V}$. Thus, only Zn and Ag will be oxidised.
