Correct Answer - C
(c ) The oxidation states of X and Y in their respective nitrates are 3 and 2 respectively. The equivalent masses of the metals can be calculated by dividing the respective atomic masses with oxidation states or valences. These are in the ratio `1//3 : 2//2` or `1//3 : 1` or `1:3`
