The correct options are
A
=

B
=

For the reactionaA(g) + bB(g) $⇋$ cC(g) + dD(g)

$K_{p}$ = $\frac{{(P_{c})}^{c} {(P_{d})}^{d}}{{(P_{a})}^{a} {(P_{b})}^{b}}$
From Dalton's law of partial pressure,
$P_{A}$ = [A]RT; $P_{B}$ = [B]RT; $P_{C}$ = [C]RT; $P_{D}$ = [D]RT
Substituting the above in the expression for Kp, we get
$K_{p}$ = $K_{c}$ ${(R T)}^{Δ n}$ or $K_{c}$ = $K_{p}$ ${(R T)}^{- Δ n}$
where $Δ n$ = sum of coefficients of gaseous products - sum of coefficients of gaseous reactants = (c + d) - (a+b)
Hence options a and b
