Solution

The correct option is B SO23, SO2
Option (A) is correct.

[X] and [Y] are SO23 and SO2 respectively.

SO32 reacts with sulphuric acid to form sulphur dioxide which is a colourless gas with irritating smell.

SO23 +H2SO4 SO2 (a colourless gas with irritating smell) +H2O

Potassium dichromate oxidizes sulphur dioxide to green solution of chromium sulphate.
SO2+K2Cr2O7+H2SO4 Cr2(SO4)3(greensolution)+K2SO4+H2O.
