Solution

The correct option is A 2:1
Mean Kinetic energy is given as, K.E=32nRT
n= no. of molecules.
R= Constant.
T= Temperature.
For H2,
K.EH2=32nH2RT(1)
For O2,
K.EO2=32nO2RT(1)
On dividing equation (1) by equation (2) we get,
K.EH2K.EO2=nH2nO2
given nH2=2nO2,
K.EH2K.EO2=n2O2nO2=21
Thus the ration is 2:1.
