Answer:

Correct Answer: 48. (6 or 7)

Solution:

From qualitative analysis of the different metal ions it is found that $PbS, CuS, HgS, Ag _2 S, NiS, CoS$ are black coloured.

$MnS -$ dirty pink/buff coloured, $SnS _2$ - yellow coloured.

$Bi _2 S _3-$ brown/black (brownish black) coloured.

Hence, correct integer is (6 or 7).
