Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{X}_3\left(\mathrm{YZ}_4\right)_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{X}^{+2} \mathrm{Y}^{+5} \mathrm{Z}^{-2}\)
Overall charge on compound formed by elements X. Y and \(\mathrm{Z}\) should be zero.
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{X}_3\left(\mathrm{YZ}_4\right)_2 \Rightarrow 3 \times 2+2 \times 5+8 \times(-2)=0 \\
& \mathrm{X}\left(\mathrm{Y}_4 \mathrm{Z}\right) \Rightarrow 1 \times 2+4 \times 5+1 \times(-2) \neq 0 \\
& \mathrm{X}_3\left(\mathrm{YZ}_2\right)_2 \Rightarrow 3 \times 2+2 \times 5+4 \times(-2) \neq 0 \\
& \mathrm{XYZ}_2 \Rightarrow 1 \times 2+1 \times 5+2 \times(-2) \neq 0
\end{aligned}
