The correct answer is: 2

The relation between Gibbs Free energy and emf of the cell can be related as follows,

G=-nFEcell

The electrode reactions can be written as follows,

Pb2++2e-Pb       G1=-2FEPb2+/Pbo

Pb4++4e-Pb       G2=-4FEPb4+/Pbo

Pb4++2e-Pb2+       G3=-2FEPb4+/Pb2+o

Now, G3=G2-G1

-2FEPb4+/Pb2+o=-4FEPb4+/Pbo+2FEPb2+/Pbo

4EPb+4/Pbo=2EPb+2/Pbo+2EPb+4/Pb+2o

4n=2m+2EPb+4/Pb+2oEPb+4/Pb+2o=2n-mEPb+2/Pb+4o=m-2n

Hence, the value of x=2
