hiii friend..hope u like my answer...

Reducing power depends upon the ease of ejection of electron from an atom. As we move down the group, effective nuclear charge decrease, therefore electron can be easily ejected and reducing power increases. In period effective nuclear charge increases, therefore ejection of electron becomes difficult and reducing power decreases.

give me brainliest....plzzzz
