2

Reason — Chemical formula of calcium phosphate:

Ca2+ PO43Ca222  PO43Ca23 PO422Ca3(PO4)2\text{Ca}^{2+} \space \text{PO}4^{3-} \\[1em] \overset{\phantom{22}{2}}{\text{Ca}} \space {\swarrow}\mathllap{\searrow} \space \overset{3}{\text{PO}4} \Rightarrow \underset{\phantom{2}{3}}{\text{Ca}} \space {\swarrow}\mathllap{\searrow} \underset{\phantom{2}{2}}{\text{PO}4} \\[1em] \text{Ca}3\text{(PO}4)2

∴ Chemical formula of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2 hence x = 2.
