A box contains some identical red balls, labelled as A, each weighing 2 gram. Another box contains identical blue balls, labelled as B, each weighing 5 `A_(2)B and A_(2)B_(3)`, show that the law of multiple proportions is applicable for this case.

Explanation

Masses of B which combine separately with the fixed mass off A (say 4g) will be 10g, 20g, 5g and 15g, i.e., they are in the ratio 2:4:1:3 which is a simple whole number ratio. Hence, the law of multiple proportions is applicable for this case.
