For the reaction A + B → C + D, doubling the concentration of both the reactants increases the reaction rate by 8 times and doubling the initial concentration of the only B simply doubles the reaction rate. The rate law for the reaction is:
A
r=k[A][B]2

Solution
The correct option is Dr=k[A]2[B] A + B → C + D as doubling the initial concentration of only B simply doubles the reaction rate so it is first order wrt to B. and similarly it is second order w.r.t A. so r=k[A]2[B].
