Detailed Solution

 3Ca(OH)2+2H3PO4Ca3(PO4)2+6H2O

Here, we can see that 3 moles of Ca(OH)2 is reacting with 2 moles of H3PO4.

But it is given that 1 mole of both the reactants is reacting.

If 1 mole of Ca(OH)2 is taken then, 0.667 moles of H3PO4 is required.

But it is given that 1 mole of  H3PO4 is reacting.

Hence, H3PO4 is present in excess.

Now, from the reaction 3 moles of Ca(OH)2  forms 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2

1 mole of Ca(OH)2  will produce 1/3 moles of Ca3(PO4)2

Therefore, Option (C) is correct.
