Correct answer: A

  1. Relation between vapour density and molar mass

    Vapour density (V.D.) is proportional to molar mass: V.D.=M2\text{V.D.} = \frac{M}{2}V.D.=2M​ Hence, the ratio of vapour densities is the same as the ratio of molar masses: V.D.1V.D.2=M1M2=425\frac{\text{V.D.}_1}{\text{V.D.}_2} = \frac{M_1}{M_2} = \frac{4}{25}V.D.2​V.D.1​​=M2​M1​​=254​

  2. Formula for r.m.s. velocity

    The r.m.s. velocity of a gas is: vrms=3RTMv_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}vrms​=M3RT​​ At the same temperature, vrms∝1Mv_{\text{rms}} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}vrms​∝M​1​

  3. Find the ratio of r.m.s. velocities

    Therefore, v1v2=M2M1\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}v2​v1​​=M1​M2​​​ Since M1M2=425\frac{M_1}{M_2} = \frac{4}{25}M2​M1​​=254​ we get M2M1=254\frac{M_2}{M_1} = \frac{25}{4}M1​M2​​=425​ So, v1v2=254=52\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{4}} = \frac{5}{2}v2​v1​​=425​​=25​

  4. Option check

    • A: 52\frac{5}{2}25​ ✅
    • B: 254\frac{25}{4}425​ ❌
    • C: 425\frac{4}{25}254​ ❌
    • D: 25\frac{2}{5}52​ ❌

Therefore, the correct answer is: 52\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}25​​
