While solving this paper how i came up tothe conclusion was due to the hydrogen peroxide reaction, manganese oxide is a catalyst for this reaction and moreover it is coloured so the oxide is definitly of a transition metal....hope i helped u:)

But aren't transition elements colored? so why is T a black solid?

i will start from beginning of test...
1)T was added to aqueous hydrogen peroxide- splint extinguished (it means that we added something that decompose hydrogen peroxide in oxygen and water... it is catalyst)
2) the gas given off was tasted with glowing splint- splint relight (it is oxygen)
3)Solid T was added to HCl and heated- litmus paper bleached (chlorine gas is produced)
4) and i came to formula...
1&2- 2H2O2 + MnO2 --> 2H2O + O2 + MnO2
3&4- 4HCl + MnO2 --> MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

I hope i helped :)
