    $\%$ Atom economy $=$ Formula weight of product $\times 100$
  • B
    $\%$ Atom economy $=$ Sum of formula weight of all reactants $\times 100$
  • C
    $\%$ Atom economy $= \frac{\text{Formula weight of desired product}}{\text{Sum of formula weight of all reactants}} \times 100$
  • D
    $\%$ Atom economy $= \frac{\text{Sum of formula weight of all reactants}}{\text{Formula weight of desired product}} \times 100$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ $3.1500 \ g$ of hydrated oxalic acid dissolved in water to make $250.0 \ mL$ solution will result in $0.1 \ M$ oxalic acid solution.
Reason $R:$ Molar mass of hydrated oxalic acid is $126 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
