How is 3 also correct?
V3+ = 20 electrons = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 ... so it doesn't have unpaired electrons :/

PV = nRT
R and T are constant. So we can write:
PV = kn, where k is just a constant.
n = PV/k
Moles of gas in flask X = 2*1/k = 2/k
Moles of gas in flask Y = 1*2/k = 2/k
Total moles = 4/k
New volume together = 1+2=3
New pressure = kn/V = k * (4/k) / 3 = 4/3Pa
Can't we find moles like
vol given/24 .. i.e...(1/24 + 2/24)?
