Three closed vessels $A, B$ and $C$ are at the same temperature $T$ and contain gases. Vessel $A$ contains only $O_2$,vessel $B$ contains only $N_2$,and vessel $C$ contains a mixture of equal quantities of $O_2$ and $N_2$. If the rms speed of $O_2$ molecules in vessel $A$ is $v_1$ and that of $N_2$ molecules in vessel $B$ is $v_2$,then the rms speed of $O_2$ molecules in vessel $C$ is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $v_1$
  • C
    $\sqrt{v_1 v_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{v_1}{2}$
