Solution

The correct option is D $E_{K} (C O_{2}) = E_{K} (O_{2}) = E_{K} (C l_{2})$
Kinetic energy of 1 mole of gas $= \frac{3}{2} R T$ -------------(1)
Where $T$ is the temperature and $R$ is gas constant.
Eq (1) is known as Maxwell generalisation which states that at a given temperature, the kinetic energy of a mole of every gas is the same which is equal to $\frac{3}{2}$ RT.
So, kinetic energy of all the gases $C O_{2}$ , $O_{2}$ and ${C l}_{2}$ are equal to $\frac{3}{2} R T$
