Detailed Solution

 The lattice energy of crystal AB is 4X.
In a compound, the energy associated to the crystal lattice is lattice energy. Mathematically,
Elattice =kQ1Q2 d =X
where, k = proportionality constant
Q1 and Q2 are the charges on the ions in coulombs.
d= distance between the ion charges.
Lattice energy of NaCl=X
Elattice (NaCl)=2Q12Q2 d=4X
