General expression of solubility product -

M_{x}X_{y}\rightleftharpoons xM^{p+}(aq)+yX^{2-}(aq)


(x.p^{+}=y.\bar{q})

- wherein

Its solubility product is 
 

K_{sp}=[M^{p+}]^{x}\:[X^{2-}]^{y}

 

 Ksp - solubility

AgCrO4     1.1X10-12= 4 S3       S=3\sqrt{\frac{k_{sp}}{4}}=0.65 \times 10^{-4}

Agcl   1.8X10-10= S2            S=\sqrt{k_{sp}}= 1.34X10^{-5}  

AgBr     5X1013 = S2                 S=\sqrt{K_{sp}}=0.71 \times 10^{-6}

AgI        8.3 X10-17 =  S2           S=\sqrt{K_{sp}}=0.9 \times 10^{-8}

Thus Ag2Cr0 will be precipitated last.
