Solution

The correct option is D $P b^{2 +}, A g^{+}$
With ammonia solution, $P b^{2 +}$ gives a white ppt. of lead hydroxide.
$P b^{2 +} + 2 N H_{4} O H ⟶ P b (O H)_{2} W h i t e p p t . + 2 N H_{4}^{+}$

But $[A g ({N H}_{3})_{2}]^{+} S o l u b l e$ + $C l^{-}$

The correct answer is $P b^{2 +}, A g^{+}$ as one forms ppt. and other forms soluble complex.
