Passage

Paragraph for Questions 33 and 34

An aqueous solution of a mixture of two inorganic salts, when treated with dilute HCl, gave a precipitate (P) and a filtrate (Q). The precipitate P was found to dissolve in hot water. The filtrate (Q) remained unchanged, when treated with HX2S\ce{H2S} in a dilute mineral acid medium. However, it gave a precipitate (R) with HX2S\ce{H2S} in an ammoniacal medium. The precipitate R gave a coloured solution (S), when treated with HX2OX2\ce{H2O2} in an aqueous NaOH medium.

The precipitate P contains
