Solution

The correct option is A Moles of CaBr2 and NaI in the original sample was 1 and 6 respectively
Given:- CaBr2 and NaI in mass ratio 29 treated with AgNO3.
So, CaBr2+2Ag+O32AgBr+Ca(NO3)2
also NaI+AgNOAgI+NaNO3
Given weight of mixed precipitate =1786 gram
(AgI+AgBr)
If we take initial mass of mixture =u
then CaBr2=2x11 and NaI=9u11
moles of CaBr2=2x11×200, moles of NaI=9x11×150
So, After. reaction moles of AgBr=4x11×200
moles of AgI=9 x11×150
mass of mixed precipitate =4x11×200×188+9x11×150×235
givan, 4x×18811×200+9x11×150×235=178.6 gram
So, x=1100 gram ,Now
Mass of CaBr2=2×110011×200=1
Mass of NaI=9×110011×150=6
So, A is correct answer
