Solution
The correct option is AA
Critical temperature of a gas TC=8a27Rb⇒a∝TC
where a is measure of vander Waal's forces of attraction. Higher the critical temperature of a gas greater the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of gas and easily the gas can be liquefied.
Hence gas A whose critical temperature (25∘C) is highest among all the given options will be liquified more easily.
