Detailed Solution

0.2 moles of   A2B= 8.8 grams
1 mole of  A2B = 44 grams
2A+B=44(1)
0.05 moles of  A2B3 = 3.8 grams
1 mole of   A2B3= 76 grams
2A+3B=76(2)

 Eq(2) –Eq(1)
    B = 16

Substituting the value of ‘B’ in eq(1)
                            2A +16 = 44
                                   2A = 28
                                     A = 14
