An element `A` in a compound `ABD` has oxidation number `A^(n-)`. It is oxidised by `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` in acid medium. In the experiment `1.68xx10^(-3)` moles of `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` were used for `3.26xx10^(-3)` moles of `ABD`. The new oxidation number of `A` after oxidation is:

Options

A. 3
B. 3-n
C. n-3
D. `+n`

Answer

b
