Detailed Solution

74.75% of chlorine means 74.75g chlorine is present
 in 100g of metal chloride.   
Weight of metal = 100g — 74.75g 
=25.25g
Equivalent weight 
= weightofmetal  weightofchlorine ×35.5 =25.2574.75×35.5=12  Valencyofmetal =2× V.D Equivalentwt.ofmetal +35.5 =2×94.812+35.5=4  Formula of compound =MCl4
