Detailed Solution

Following equilibria gets simultaneous established

M(OH)3(s)M(OHS)3(aq)M+3S+0.4(aq)+3OH-3s(aq)

And the solubility of M(OH)3 will get suppressed in presence of 0.4 M MX3 solution.

MX3M0.4+S'+3(aq)+3X3×0.4-(aq)

the solubility of M(OH)3 is suppressed, S' will be negligible. i.e. 0.4 + S' ~ 0.4

Ksp = (S' + 0.4)  x (3S')3

⇒  Ksp = 0.4 x S'3 x 27

Ksp10.8=S'3

S'=Ksp10.813
