Solution

The correct option is D remain unchanged in size
According to graham's law of diffusion,

Rate of diffusion 1molecularmass

Molar mass of CO2=44g

Molar mass of N2O=28+16=44g

Since, both CO2 and N2O have same molar mass. Thus, they have the same rate of diffusion at constant temperature and pressure.

Balloon remains unchanged in size.
Hence, the correct option is (D)).
