The solution of a chemical compound (X) reacts with \(AgNO_3\) solution to form a white precipitate of (Y) which in turn dissolves in \(NH_4OH \) to give a complex (Z). When (Z) is treated with dilute \(HNO_3,\) (Y) reappears. The chemical compound X can be :
1. \(NaCl \)
2. \(CH_3Cl \)
3. \(NaBr \)
4. \(NaI \)
