Solution

The correct option is B 1:36
X2Y, ZP+ Q
Initial moles 1 0 1 0 0
at equilibrium 1α 2α 1α α α
Kp1=P2YPX=(2α1+αP1)2(1α1+αP1)
Kp2=PPPQPZ=(α1+αP2)(α1+αP2)1α1+αP2)...(i)
KP1=4α2P11α2...(ii)
Given,
KP1KP2=19...(iii)
Substituting values from equation (i) and (ii) into (iii), we get
4α2P11α2α2P21α2=19
4P1P2=19
P1P2=136
