Consider a mixture of gas molecules of types $A, B$,and $C$ having masses $m_{A} < m_{B} < m_{C}$. The ratio of their root mean square speeds at normal temperature and pressure is:

  • A
    $v_{A} = v_{B} \neq v_{C}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{v_{A}} > \frac{1}{v_{B}} > \frac{1}{v_{C}}$
  • C
    $v_{A} = v_{B} = v_{C} = 0$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{v_{A}} < \frac{1}{v_{B}} < \frac{1}{v_{C}}$

The molecules of a given mass of a gas have $r.m.s.$ velocity of $200 \,m s^{-1}$ at $27^o C$ and $1.0 \times 10^5 \,N m^{-2}$ pressure. When the temperature and pressure of the gas are respectively $127^o C$ and $0.05 \times 10^5 \,N m^{-2},$ the $r.m.s.$ velocity of its molecules in $m s^{-1}$ is
