Solution

The correct option is B n=14m
We know that CPCV=R (here CP and CV are the molar specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume respectively)
Thus we get the relation for the specific heats per unit mass as CPCV=mR (here M is the molecular weight of the element involved)
Thus we get
CPCV=2R (for H2)
and CPCV=28R (for N2)
Thus we get
n=14m
