Acid strength can be explained by the oxidation number of the central atom. The central atom here is Phosphorous (P).
H3PO4: +5
H3PO3: +3
H3PO2: +1
Hence, the order of reducing character is H3PO4>H3PO3>H3PO2

oxidation is opposite of nature so first let conclude it's oxidising tendency and then reverse the order to get reducing tendency.
H3PO3- It can give 2 OH ion
H3PO2-It can give 1 OH ION
Oxidation tendency order-
H3Po4>H3PO3>H3PO2
so, reducing order be
H3PO2>H3PO3>H3PO4.
H3PO3- It can give 2 OH ion
H3PO2-It can give 1 OH ION
Oxidation tendency order-
H3Po4>H3PO3>H3PO2
so, reducing order be
H3PO2>H3PO3>H3PO4.
