$A$ mixture of $2\, \text{moles}$ of helium gas (atomic mass $= 4\, \text{amu}$) and $1\, \text{mole}$ of argon gas (atomic mass $= 40\, \text{amu}$) is kept at $300\, \text{K}$ in a container. The ratio of the $r.m.s.$ speeds $\left( \frac{v_{\text{rms}}(\text{helium})}{v_{\text{rms}}(\text{argon})} \right)$ is

• A
  $0.32$
• B
  $0.45$
• C
  $2.24$
• D
  $3.16$
