Solution

The correct option is B 2:1
Rate of effusion for a gas (r)PM, where P is pressure and M is molar mass of gas.
Since the rate of effusion for both gases is equal so,
P1M1=P2M2
P1P2=M1M2
During effusion all conditions are identical so Pressure of gas (P)Moles of gas(n)Molecules of gas(N)
=N1N2NSO2NCH4=MSO2MCH4=6416=21
