Question

two elements x (at mass 16) and y (at mass 14) combine to form
compounds a,b and c the ratio of differebt masses of y which
combines with a fixed mass of x in a,b and c is 1:3:5 if 32 parts
by mass of x combines with 84 parts bymass of y in b, then in c 16
parts by mass f x willl combine with:
a) 14 parts by mass of y
b)42 parts by mss of y
c) 70 parts by mass of y
d) 84 parts by mass of y

Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

In B, 32 parts of x combine with y=84 parts16 parts of x will combine with y =42partsNow, the number of parts of x in both B and C is of equal masses of y which combine with a fixed mass of x in B and C in the ratio 3:5mass of y in Bmass of y in C =3542 partsmass of y in C=35mass of y in C=53×42 =70 parts

Hence option C is correct
