Solution

The correct option is B 49
Vapour density =Molecularwt.ofcompound2

Molecular wt. of chloride (MCl2)=2×60=120

[Metal is divalent, so two atoms of chlorine]

Molecular wt. of MCl2= Atomic mass of M + 2 × Atomic mass of chlorine

120=M+2(35.5)

12071=M=49

Equivalent wt =MolecularwtValency49224.5

Hence, option C is correct.
