Solution
The correct option is Bm1m2×E1 If m1 g of a metal A displaces m2 g of another metal B from its salt solution and if their equivalent weights are E2 and E1 respectively, then the equivalent weight of A can be expressed by m1m2×E1. According to Faradays second law of electrolysis, m1m2=E1E2 Hence, E2=m1m2×E1.
