Solution

The correct option is C (A) Pb(CH3COO)2; (B) PbCl2
The compounds A and B are lead acetate Pb(CH3COO)2 and lead dichloride PbCl2.
Lead acetate reacts with dil HCl to form white ppt of lead dichloride which is soluble in hot water.
The vinegar smell is due to acetic acid which is formed in the reaction.
Pb(CH3COO)2+2HClPbCl2+2CH3COOH
