Cu+
(aq) is unstable in solution and undergoes simultaneous oxidation and
reduction according to the reaction, 2Cu+
(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + Cu(s) . Choose correct E°
for the above reaction if E°Cu2+/Cu=0.34 V and E°Cu2+/Cu+=0.15 V

Is the answer possibly 0.04 V ?
potential E° for Cu²⁺ / Cu = 0.34 V
Cu²⁺/ Cu⁺ = 0.15 V
2 Cu⁺ (aq) => Cu²⁺ (aq) + Cu (s)
Cu (s) => Cu⁺ (aq) + e⁻ : E° =
Cu⁺ (aq) => Cu⁺² (aq) + e⁻ : E° = 0.15 V
Cu (s) => Cu⁺² (aq) + 2 e⁻ E° : 0.34 V
Cu⁺ (aq) +e⁻ => Cu (s) E° =
