Solution

The correct option is A $M_{1} > M_{2}$
First we derive an expression for density of a gas.
Density = $\frac{m a s s (w)}{v o l u m e (V)}$
but we know that PV = nRT
now n = $\frac{w}{M}$ where M is molecular weight
So, PV = $\frac{w}{M} R T$
this gives $\frac{w}{V} = \frac{P M}{R T}$ = density = d
clearly graph of pressure vs density is a straight line with slope = $\frac{R T}{M}$
steeper the line, more is the slope and so less is the mass (at a given temperature)
so here $M_{1} > M_{2}$
