Solution

The correct option is D 6:3:2:6
AgNO3+eAg+NO3
1 mole of AgNO3 required 1 mole of e or 1 Faraday of electricity.
Thus 3F is used for 3 mole of AgNO3 .
CuSO4+2eCu+SO24
1 mole of CuSO4 required 2 Faraday of charge.
Thus 3 Faraday of charge will deposit 32 mole of CuSO4 .
Al(MO3)3+3e & Al+3NO3
3F of charge is required for 1 mole of Al(NO3)3 .

NaCl+eNa+Cl
1F of charge required for 1 mole of NaCl .
Thus, 3F of charge is required for 3 mole of NaCl .
The molar ratio will be:
3:32:1:3
or, 6:3:2:6 .
