Q: n-Factor of P4O6

ZenixI had a question in my exam: Which of the following can be the $n$-factor of $\ce{P4O6}?$ A. 8 B. 9 C. 10 D. 12 I went for options A and B as in cold water $1$ mole of $\ce{P4O6}$ on hydrolysis give $4$ moles of $\ce{H3PO3}$, whereas in hot water it gives $3$ moles of $\ce{H3PO4}...
