Two gases $A$ and $B$ are contained in two separate, but otherwise identical containers. Gas $A$ consists of monatomic molecules, each with atomic mass of $4 \ u$, whereas Gas $B$ consists of rigid diatomic molecules, each with atomic mass of $20 \ u$. If gas $A$ is kept at $27^{\circ} C$, at what temperature should gas $B$ be kept so that both have the same rms speed (in $^{\circ} C$)?

  • A
    $27$
  • B
    $54$
  • C
    $270$
  • D
    $62$
