Let molar mass of \mathrm{A= M_{A}}

Given, \mathrm{A\; and\; H_{2}} occupy same volume at the same pressure.

\mathrm{V_{A}=V_{H_2}

So, from the ideal gas equation, we have 

\mathrm{\frac{n_{A}R T_{1}}{P}=\frac{n_{H_2} R T_{2}}{P}}

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{\Rightarrow 300 \times n_{A}=n_{H_2} \times 200} \\ &\mathrm{\Rightarrow 300 \times \frac{3.0 \mathrm{~g}}{M_ A}=\frac{0.2 \mathrm{~g}}{2.0 \mathrm{~g}/mol} \times 200} \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow\mathrm{M _{ A }=30 \times \frac{3}{2}\ g / mol}

\Rightarrow\mathrm{M _{ A }=45\ g / mol}

Hence, the answer is 45
