$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{Of}_4^{\circ} / \mathrm{ca}^8}^0=1.33 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{C}_2 / \mathrm{Cr}}^{\circ}=1.36 \mathrm{~V} \\
& \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{MnO}_4 / \mathrm{Mm}^2}^{\circ}=1.51 \mathrm{~V} \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cr}^2 / \mathrm{Cr}}^0=-0.74 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}$
The species which has the most negative value of standard reduction potential will be the strongest reducing agent. Since $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+} / \mathrm{Cr}$ has SRP value of $-0.74 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{Cr}$ is the strongest reducing agent.
