Hi Anilbabu,
Given in the question are
Element with mass number is 81
Neutron content 31.7% more compared to protons
Now, Mass Number = 81
i.e., Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 81 .....(1)
Let the number of proton be x
Neutron will be = x + (31.7/100) x = 1.317x
Putting the value in (1)
=> x + 1.317x = 81
=> x = 81/2.317
=> 35
So, protons is 35.
Symbol of the element will be 81Br35
