Passage / Comprehension

A quantity of 0.4 g of oxygen and 4.0 g of a halogen combine separately with the same amount of metal.

The atomic weight of the halogen can never have the value

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Atomic weight = equivalent weight × valency (an integer). With E = 80 or E = 40, the atomic weight must be an integer multiple of 40 at minimum 40: 40, 80, 120, 160 are possible; 20 would need valency 1/2, impossible. Hence 20, matching (c).
