Consider the following reaction (ignore balancing):
AgNO₃ + H₃PO₂ + H₂O → A(acid) + B(acid) + Ag
Let the basicity of A (phosphorus-containing) = $x$ .
The number of hybrid orbitals utilized by nitrogen in B = $y$ .
Then, $x + y$ is:

Consider the following reaction (ignore balancing):

AgNO₃ + H₃PO₂ + H₂O → A(acid) + B(acid) + Ag

Let the basicity of A (phosphorus-containing) = $x$ .

The number of hybrid orbitals utilized by nitrogen in B = $y$ .

Then, $x + y$ is:
