Correct answer: B

  1. For an ideal gas, the standard molecular speeds are:

    • Average speed: vavg=8RTπMv_{\text{avg}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}vavg​=πM8RT​​

    • RMS speed: vrms=3RTMv_{\text{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}vrms​=M3RT​​

  2. Hence, their ratio is

    vrmsvavg=3RT/M8RT/(πM)=3π8\frac{v_{\text{rms}}}{v_{\text{avg}}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT/M}{8RT/(\pi M)}} = \sqrt{\frac{3\pi}{8}}vavg​vrms​​=8RT/(πM)3RT/M​​=83π​​

  3. According to the question,

    vrmsvavg=α+5α\frac{v_{\text{rms}}}{v_{\text{avg}}} = \sqrt{\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha}}vavg​vrms​​=αα+5​​

    Therefore,

    α+5α=3π8\sqrt{\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha}} = \sqrt{\frac{3\pi}{8}}αα+5​​=83π​​

  4. Squaring both sides,

    α+5α=3π8\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha} = \frac{3\pi}{8}αα+5​=83π​

    Using π=227\pi=\frac{22}{7}π=722​,

    α+5α=38⋅227=6656=3328\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha} = \frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{22}{7} = \frac{66}{56} = \frac{33}{28}αα+5​=83​⋅722​=5666​=2833​

  5. Now solve for α\alphaα:

    α+5α=3328\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha}=\frac{33}{28}αα+5​=2833​

    28(α+5)=33α28(\alpha+5)=33\alpha28(α+5)=33α

    28α+140=33α28\alpha+140=33\alpha28α+140=33α

    140=5α140=5\alpha140=5α

    α=28\alpha=28α=28

  6. Therefore, the correct option is:

    28\boxed{28}28​

    So, option B is correct.
