Solution

The correct option is A 0.1 and 0.4
The equilibrium reaction is $2 S O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) \Leftrightarrow 2 S O_{3} (g)$ .
The number of moles of $S O_{2}$ and $S O_{3}$ are same. Hence, their molar concentration is also same.
The expression for the equilibrium constant is $K_{c} = \frac{[S O_{3}]^{2}}{[S O_{2}]^{2} [O_{2}]}$
Substitute values in the above expression:
$100 = \frac{1}{[O_{2}]}$
Thus, $[O_{2}] = 0.01 M$

1 L contains 0.01 moles of oxygen.
10 L will contain 0.1 moles of oxygen.

(b) The number of moles of $S O_{3}$ is twice the number of moles of $S O_{2}$ $. H e n c e, t h e i r m o l a r c o n c e n t r a t i o n i s a l s o i n t h e s a m e r a t i o . T h e e x p r e s s i o n f o r t h e e q u i l i b r i u m c o n s t a n t i s$ K_c= \dfrac {[SO_3]^2}{[SO_2]^2[O_2]} $S u b s t i t u t e v a l u e s i n t h e a b o v e e x p r e s s i o n :$ 100=\dfrac {4}{[O_2]} $T h u s$ [O_2] = 0.04M$

1 L contains 0.04 moles of oxygen.
10 L will contain 0.4 moles of oxygen.

Hence, option A is correct.
