Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(Vapor density) \(=\left(\frac{\text { Molar mass }}{2}\right)\), I.e, \(v d=\frac{M}{2}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & v_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}} \\ & \frac{v_2}{v_1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_1}{M_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}}=\frac{5}{2}\end{aligned}\)
