Solution

The correct option is C $N_{2} O$ and $N O$
A fixed mass of nitrogen, say $100$ grams, may react with $57.14$ grams of oxygen to produce one oxide, or with $114.28$ grams of oxygen to produce the other. The ratio of the masses of oxygen that can react with $100$ grams of nitrogen is $57.14 : 114.28$ or $2 : 1$ , a ratio of small whole numbers.
