Solution

The correct options are
B Average speed of CH4 is 2 times that of SO2
C Both have the same average kinetic energy per mol
Moles of CH4= 4 times of moles of SO2, So pCH4=4pSO2

rCH4rSO2=pCH4pSO2MSO2MCH4=416416=8

¯VCH4¯VSO2=MSO2MCH4=2
K.E. (per mol) =(32)RT, So same for both.
Partial pressure of a gas is directly proportional to mole fraction of that particular gas.
