  1. A \(1: 4\)
  2. B \(4: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 16\)
  4. D \(16: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(16: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1=\frac{\mathrm{m}_1}{\mathrm{M}_1} \mathrm{RT}_1 \ldots\)...(i)
\(\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2=\frac{\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{M}_2} \mathrm{RT}_2 \ldots\) (ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii)
\(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1}{\mathrm{M}_2}=\frac{32}{2}=\frac{16}{1}\)
