Solution

The correct option is D 20,30
Weight of 0.2 mole of A2B3=26g
Weight of 0.3 mole of AB2=24g
Let x and y be the atomic weights of A and B
Then, 2x+3y=260.2=130(1)
x+2y=240.3=80(2)
Substituting x=802y in Equation (1)
2(802y)+3y=130y=30
x=802(30)=20
Atomic weights of A and B are 20,30 respectively.
