    A) \[1 and 2\]

    B) \[1 and 3\]

    C) \[2 and 4\]

    D) \[3 and 4\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Aluminium oxide is amphoteric oxide because it shows the properties of the both acidic and basic oxides. It reacts with both acids and bases to form salt and water. \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}.x{{H}_{2}}O+2NaOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}NaAl{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}.x{{H}_{2}}O+HCl\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}AlC{{l}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
