Aluminium chloride in acidified aqueous solution forms a complex 'A'.
The formula of A and hybridisation state of Al in 'A' is respectively:

1. [Al(H₂O)₆]³⁺, sp³d²

2. [Al(H₂O)₄]³⁺, sp³

A compound "X", upon reaction with H₂O, produces a colourless gas "Y" with a rotten fish smell.  Gas 'Y' is absorbed in a solution of CuSO₄ to give Cu₃P₂ as one of the products. The compound 'X' will be:

1. Ca₃P₂

2. ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$

3. ${\mathrm{As}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$

4. Ca₃(PO₄)₂
