You know the percent of O, so the percent of H is 1/16 of that, then you know the percent of M.
Knowing the percent of M, and the percent of 20's, you can determine the atomic mass of M.
MassatomicM/percentM=massatomic20/percentO
You know the atomic mass of M, and that it is in group II, you have....
