Solution
The correct option is BFeO(s)+CO(g)→Fe(s)+CO(g) Change in pressure affects the equilibrium position of the reaction only when there is a change in the number of molecules or moles.
In the reaction given in (B), there is no change in number of molecules, (no. of molecules of reactants = no. of molecules of products = 2) , therefore change in pressure doesnot affect the equilibrium position.
In all other reactions, there is a change in the number of molecules and hence, change in pressure affects the equilibrium position of the reaction.
