Solution

The correct option is B B
As per stoichiometry, 7 mol of A will react with 13 mol of B and 15 mol of C
Finding the limiting reagent,
For A=given molesstoichiometric coefficient=157=2.14
For B=given molesstoichiometric coefficient=2613=2.00
For C=given molesstoichiometric coefficient=30.515=2.03
Since the ratio is the least for B, it will be the limiting reagent.
