i = 10 A, t = 2hr

\text { No. of moles }=\frac{I t}{96500 \times(n-\text { factor })}

\\\therefore\mathrm{\textrm{ moles of e}^- = \frac{10\times 2\times 60\times 60}{96500\times n-factor}}\\\\\therefore\mathrm{\textrm{0.25}= \frac{10\times 2\times 60\times 60}{96500\times X}} \\\\\therefore 0.75 = 0.25 \times(X) \\\\\Rightarrow X=3 \\\\\therefore\mathrm{\textrm{Metal X is present in the form of X}^{3+}}

Therefore, the correct option is (3).
