Solution
The correct option is A36000
the percentage is given question is .86%.therefore
in 100 gm of the starch molecule will contain .86 gm of phosphorus
given 1atom of phosphorus is contained in one molecule.
therefore Na(avagadro no) of phosphorus will also contain Na molecule or 1mole which corresponds to molecular mass.
0.86 gm of phosphorus equal to 100 gm of a molecule
