Solution
The correct option is C Increased by 3 times The average kinetic energy of gas particles = 32RT, where R is the gas constant and T is the temperature of gas. Since R and 32 are constant, so kinetic energy is ∝ temperature ∴ Average kinetic energy will become three times as temperature is increased from 300K to 900K.
