Two metals X and Y form the salts $XSO _4$ and $Y _2 SO _4$, respectively. The solution of salt $XSO _4$ is blue in colour whereas that of $Y _2 SO _4$ is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to $XSO _4$ solution, then a white precipitate Z is formed alongwith a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to $Y _2 SO _4$ solution, then the same white precipitate Z is formed alongwith colourless common salt solution.
