Solution
The correct option is CH2 and He show negative deviation while CO2,CH4 and O2 show positive deviation. We know that, if Z > 1 positive deviation, Z < 1 negative deviation. From given graph, H2,He shows positive deviation from ideal gas equation.CO2,CH4,O2 shows negative from ideal gas equation.
