Suppose the elements X and Y combine to form two compounds XY2 and X3Y2. When 0.1 mole of XY2 weighs 10 g and 0.05 mole of X3Y2 weighs 9 g, the atomic weights of X and Y are
40, 30
60, 40
20, 30
30, 20
Let the atomic weight of X = x
and atomic weight of Y = y
then,
and
On solving, we get
Therefore, the correct option is (1).
