For a dibasic organic acid the reaction of dissociation would be:
                      H2B   ===============>              2H+             +                B^2-
t=0                  C                                                    0                                     0
t=teq.           C(1-a)                                              2Ca                                Ca
wher a is the degree of dissociation
Hence given conc. for H+ as: => 2Ca = y
we get,
C => y/2a
Hecne the conc. for initial H2B is: => y(1-a)/2a
Non of these.
