  2. B \(13\)
  3. C \(40\)
  4. D \(36\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(24\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because 40 \mathrm{~g}\) of oxygen is combined with \(=60 \mathrm{~g}\) of metal \[ \begin{array}{r} \therefore 8 \mathrm{~g} \text { of oxygen will be combined with }=\frac{60 \times 8}{40} \\ =12 \mathrm{~g} \text { of metal } \end{array} \] \(\therefore\) Equivalent weight…
