$0.5 \ g$ of an organic compound containing phosphorus was heated with conc. $HNO_3$ in a Carius tube. The phosphoric acid thus formed was precipitated with magnesia mixture $[MgNH_4PO_4]$,which on ignition gave a residue of $1.0 \ g$ of magnesium pyrophosphate $(Mg_2P_2O_7)$. The percentage of phosphorus in the organic compound is:

  • A
    $55.85$
  • B
    $29.72$
  • C
    $19.18$
  • D
    $20.5$
