Solution

The correct options are
A On reaction with nitric acid solution turns yellow due to formation of colloidal sulphur
C It is non reactive with ammonia
$A g S + 2 H N O_{3} ⟶ A g N O_{3} + N O_{2} + S + H_{2} O$
When $s e l u e r$ $s u l p h i d e$ reacts with $n i t r i c$ acid, $s i l v e r$ $n i t r a t e,$ nitrogen dioxide, colloidal sulphur and water.
Also, colloidal sulphur turns the solution yellow.
$A g S$ does not react with $N H_{3}$
