Solution

The correct option is B 8.3 atmosphere
Total number of moles = number of moles of oxygen + number of moles of nitrogen + number of moles of carbon-di-oxide
1632+714+1144=1mole
Molecular weight of Carbon-di-oxide = 44g
Molecular weight of Oxygen =32g
Molecular weight of nitrogen=14g
Using ideal gas equation,
P=nRTV=1×8.3×300(3×103)=8.3atm(nearly)
Hence, Option B is correct.
