Solution

The correct option is B $2 a t m$
The number of moles of $H e, N e$ and $X e$ is given by,
$n_{H e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{3}{R T}; n_{N e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{10}{R T}; n_{X e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{1}{R T}$
$n = n_{H e} + n_{N e} + n_{X e} = \frac{(3 + 10 + 1)}{R T}$
The total pressure is given by,
$P = \frac{(n_{H e} + n_{N e} + n_{X e}) R T}{V}$
$P_{t o t a l} = \frac{(3 + 10 + 1)}{R T} \times \frac{R T}{7} = 2 a t m$ .
