Answer:

HCL being a strong electrolyte dissociates in water to give H+ and Cl- ions. KMnO4 being a strong oxidising agent oxidises Chloride ion(Cl-) to Cl2. ... Hence more amount of KMnO4 is usedup which results in error in reading. The situation is completely the opposite with K2Cr2O7.

hope this helps
