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,
$For A = \frac{given moles}{stoichiometric coefficient} = \frac{15}{7} = 2.14$
$For B = \frac{given moles}{stoichiometric coefficient} = \frac{26}{13} = 2.00$
$For C = \frac{given moles}{stoichiometric coefficient} = \frac{30.5}{15} = 2.03$
Since the ratio is the least for B, it will be the limiting reagent.
