The rate law is given as:

Rate law = k[A][B]2

Case I:

\mathrm{Thus,\: \frac{7.2\: x\: 10^{-2}}{6\: x\: 10^{-3}}\: =\: \frac{k[X][2B]^{2}}{k[A][B]^{2}}}

\mathrm{Thus,\:12=\: \frac{[X]\: x\: [4B]}{[A]\: x\; [B]^{2}}}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \: \frac{X}{A}\: =\: 3}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \: \frac{X}{A}\: =\: 3}

Case II:

\mathrm{Thus,\: \frac{2.88\: x\: 10^{-1}}{6\: x\: 10^{-3}}\: =\: \frac{k[3A][Y]^{2}}{k[A][B]^{2}}}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow\:48\: =\: \frac{3Y^{2}}{B^{2}}}

\\\mathrm{Thus,\: Y\: =\: 4B}\\\mathrm{Y\: =\: 0.4}

Thus, X and Y in the given table are: 0.3 and 0.4 respectively.

Therefore, Option(4) is correct.
