Ans.

(4)

A.   No. of atoms in 212 g of Na2CO3 =6×NA×212106=12NA

B.   No. of atoms in 248 g of Na2O=3×NA×24862=12NA

C.   No. of atoms in 240 g of NaOH =3×NA×24040=18NA

D.   No. of atoms in 12 g of H2=2×NA×122=12NA

E.   No. of atoms in 220 g of CO2=3×NA×22044=15NA

   A, B and D have equal number of atoms.
