The temporary hardness of water sample is due to compound \mathrm{x [ \left.\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{HCo_3})_2\right]} Boiling of this sample converts \mathrm{x } to compound \mathrm{y\left[\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_2\right] }. Temporary hardness in due to presence of magnesium and calcium hydrogen carbonates. It can be removed by boiling.

\mathrm{ \mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{\text { heating }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_2 \downarrow+2 \mathrm{CO}_2 \uparrow }

\mathrm{ \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_3\right)_2 \text { heating } \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCO} \downarrow+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \uparrow }

Hence option 1 correct.
