Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Ratio of A and B will be governed by the law of reciprocal proportions. This law states that.... When two different elements combine separately with the same weight of a third element the ratio in which they do so will be the same or some simple multiple of the ratio in which they combine with each other".
