The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Determine Atomic Mass
Equivalent mass = Atomic mass / Valency. For a bivalent metal (valency = 2), Atomic mass = $32 \times 2 = 64$.
Step 2: Identify Formula

The formula for a bivalent metal nitrate is $M(NO_{3})_{2}$.
Step 3: Calculate Molecular Mass

Molecular mass = $64 (\text{Metal}) + 2 \times [14 (\text{N}) + 3 \times 16 (\text{O})]$. $= 64 + 28 + 96 = 188$.
Final Answer: (d)
