Solution

The correct option is B
2 atm

The number of moles of He,Ne and Xe is given by :-

$n_{H e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{3}{R T}; n_{N e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{10}{R T};$

$n_{H e} = \frac{P V}{R T} = \frac{1}{R T}$

$n = n_{H e} + n_{N e} + n_{X e} = \frac{3 + 10 + 1}{R T}$

The total pressure is given by

P = $\frac{⟮ n_{H e} + n_{N e} + n_{X e} ⟯ R T}{V}$

$P_{t o t a l} = \frac{3 + 10 + 1}{R T} \times \frac{R T}{7} = 2 a t m$
