Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Graham's law of diffusion rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to square root of its density. \[ \text { Rate } \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text { Density }}} \] But, density of the gas is proportional to its molar mass, thus Rate of diffusion…
