Solution

The correct option is A increase by 27 times
When the volume is reduced to one third, the pressure is increased to three times.
rate=kP2APB2
Let a and b be the initial pressures of A and B2 respectively.
After volume change, the pressures of A and B2 are 3a and 3b respectively.
r0=ka2b ...... (1)
r=k(3a)23b ...... (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
rr0=k(3a)23bka2b=271
Thus, the rate increases 27 times.
