Solution

The correct option is C $A g_{2} C r O_{4}$
For $A g_{2} C r O_{4}$ ,

$K_{s p} = \frac{(2 S)^{2} S}{1 - S}, S << 1$
$= 1.1 \times 10^{- 12} = 4 S^{3} \Rightarrow S = 6.5 \times 10^{- 5}$

For $A g C l$
$A g C l \to A g^{+} + C l^{-}$
$S S$
$K_{s p} = S^{2}$
$1.8 \times 10^{- 10} = S^{2}$
$S = 1.34 \times 10^{- 5}$

Similarly for $A g B r$ and $A g I$ is $7.1 \times 10^{- 7}$ and $9.1 \times 10^{- 9}$ respectively. Since, solubility of $A g_{2} C r O_{4}$ is the highest, it will precipitate last.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
