Detailed Solution

The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 g. Let the atomic mass of X be y g.

Molecular mass of X2O3=2(atomic mass of X) + 3 (atomic mass of oxygen)

                                          =2(y g) + 3(16)

                                         =2y + 48 grams

2y g of X forms (2y + 48) g of X2O3

By using unitary method,

Let, 0.36 g of X forms (2y+48)/2y × 0.36 g, which is 0.56g of X2O3

((2y+48)/2y × 0.36)) = 0.56

((2y+48)/2y = 56/36

On solving the above equation, we get the atomic mass of X is 43.2g

Hence, the correct option is D.
