Two oxide of metal 'M' contain 50% and 75% oxygen respectively. The formula of first oxide is 'MO'. Then what will be the formula of second oxide.

Let the ratio of metal and oxide is a:b
For the first oxide, a/b = 50/50 = 1:1
 Formula = MO(given)
For the second oxide,a/b = 75/25 = 3:1
 Therefore formula = M30
