Solution

The correct option is B 1
According to the Avogadro's law , at same temperature and pressure the number of molecules of different gasses are equal. Therefore density will not change in either case of neon or water vapor. And the speed of sound waves is a function of density and temperature. So in this case doesn't matter.
Option "D" is correct.
