Answer:

96

Explanation:

  Equivalent weight of metal            =        weight of metal    

 Equivalent weight of compound           weight of compound

let atomic wight if element = x

equivalent weight= x/3   ( as it is trivalent)

equivalent weight of compound =         moalr mass of compound

                                                               total charge on cation/anion    

total charge on cation= 2*3=6       {  M2O3}

=          x/3        =             x    

  (2x+ 48)/ 6             ( x+ x/4)

on solving x = 96
