Solution

The correct option is A AlCl3
The aqueous solution of an inorganic compound (X) gives white precipitate with NH4OH which does not dissolve in excess of NH4OH.

AlCl3+3NH4OH3NH4Cl+Al(OH)3
This aqueous solution also gives white precipitate with AgNO3 and the precipitate is soluble in dilute HNO3.
AlCl3+3AgNO33AgCl+Al(NO3)3
Here, (X) AlCl3

Hence option A is correct.
