amphoteric oxide , like for example,Al2O3 give Al(OH)3 on reaction with water
considering this i thing that amphoteric oxides give their hydroxides on treatment with water

rockey says you get an acid and you are saying you get a base.
Actually it depends on how you see it
Al2O3 +2H2O = 2HAlO2
Al2O3 + 3H2O = 2Al(OH)3
Both the above reactions are feasible while the first product is acidic the second ine is basic

they cant give both
because if they do then they would neutralize each other
