Solution

The correct option is D 125 litres
Water-gas A mixture of carbon monoxide ( $C O$ ) and hydrogen ( $H_{2}$ ) produced by passing steam over red-hot coke using the endothermic reaction: $C + H_{2} O \to C O + H_{2}$ .

So, $V_{C O} = V_{H_{2}} = \frac{250}{2} = 125 L$

Now, as per the reaction:

$V_{C O} = V_{C O_{2}} = 125 L$ .
