First oxide                     2nd oxide 
M=50%                     M=40%
O=50%                    O=60%
Formula =MO2        formula = ?
Let the atomic weight of metal =x
%  of  m  is  MO2=1×x×100x+32=50

x=32

EF  of 2nd oxide.

0=6016=3.75        3.751.25=3

M=4032=1.25     1.251.25=1

Formula of 2nd oxide =MO3
