Solution
The correct option is AAlCl3 The aqueous solution of an inorganic compound (X) gives white precipitate with NH4OH which does not dissolve in excess of NH4OH.
AlCl3+3NH4OH→3NH4Cl+Al(OH)3
This aqueous solution also gives white precipitate with AgNO3 and the precipitate is soluble in dilute HNO3.
