Solution

The correct option is A Is changed by about 26%
In first case : nAr=1,nCO2=2,nO2=3
nN2=4
nAr+nCO2+nO2+nN2=10
nO2=3/10
PO2=3P/10
(where P is the total pressure)
In second case : nO2=2/9;PO2=2P/9
Decrease in partial pressure of O2=3P102P9=7P90
% Decrease in partial pressure of O2
=7P/903P/10×100=70027=26%
