Correct answer: A

  1. Use the formula for r.m.s. speed

For a गैस molecule,

vrms=3RTMv_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}vrms​=M3RT​​

where:

  • RRR = gas constant
  • TTT = absolute temperature in K
  • MMM = molar mass
  1. Condition for equal r.m.s. speeds

If hydrogen and oxygen have the same r.m.s. speed, then

3RTHMH=3RTOMO\sqrt{\frac{3RT_H}{M_H}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_O}{M_O}}MH​3RTH​​​=MO​3RTO​​​

Squaring both sides:

THMH=TOMO\frac{T_H}{M_H} = \frac{T_O}{M_O}MH​TH​​=MO​TO​​

So,

TH=TO⋅MHMOT_H = T_O\cdot \frac{M_H}{M_O}TH​=TO​⋅MO​MH​​

  1. Substitute known values

Oxygen molecule: O2O_2O2​, so

MO=32M_O = 32MO​=32

Hydrogen molecule: H2H_2H2​, so

MH=2M_H = 2MH​=2

Given oxygen temperature:

47∘C=47+273=320 K47^\circ C = 47 + 273 = 320\,K47∘C=47+273=320K

Therefore,

TH=320⋅232=320⋅116=20 KT_H = 320 \cdot \frac{2}{32} = 320 \cdot \frac{1}{16} = 20\,KTH​=320⋅322​=320⋅161​=20K

  1. Match with options

20 K20\,K20K corresponds to Option A.

  1. Check the stored answer

Stored correct answer = A

Our derived answer = A

So they agree.
