both give white ppt with BaCl2 => SO42- is there in both

A gives blue colored ppt. with K4[Fe(CN)6] => Fe3+
=> A is Fe2(SO4)3
and C is Fe4[Fe(CN)6]

ya,i know C is Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3( PRUSSIAN BLUE) , but A is having Fe3+ cation but not the sulphate ion.second statement in the question is the confusing one

My yesterday's view about BaCl2 test was biased with sulfates...but the reality is that sulphates,sulphites and chromates give the test

=> A is Fe2(SO4)3
or Fe2(SO3)3
or Fe2(CrO4)3

moreover Fe2(CrO4)3 is yellow in color..so A could be Iron(III) chromate[1]
