Which one of the following sets correctly represent the increase in the paramagnetic property of the ions?

Question

\[\begin {array} {1 1} (1)\;Cu^{2+} < V^{2+} < Cr^{2+} < Mn^{2+} & \quad (2)\;Cu^{2+} < Cr^{2+} < V^{2+} < Mn^{2+} \\ (3)\;Cu^{2+} < V^{2+} < Cr^{2+} < Mn^{2+} & \quad (4)\;V^{2+} < Cu^{2+} < Cr^{2+} < Mn^{2+} \end {array}\]
