A metal M forms two oxides, P and Q. A student heats weighed samples of M in oxygen and finds the mass of oxygen that combines each time. The figure plots the mass of oxygen against the mass of M for both oxides. The atomic mass of M is and that of oxygen is . Which option gives the formulas of P and Q, and the ratio of the masses of oxygen that combine with a fixed mass of M in P and in Q?
