Detailed Solution

Since both the gases are contained in the same vessel, temperature of both the gases is same.
Average KE per molecule of a diatomic gas is 512 KT. Hence, average KE per molecule of both the gases is same. Therefore, option (1) is correct.

vrms=3RTM

Hence, vrms2vrms1=M1M2=16=4

Hence, option (2) is correct.

Let molar mass of B be M, then that of A will be equal to 16M.
Let mass of gas B in the vessel be m; then that of A will be 2m. The number of moles of a gas, in the vessel will be n = m/M. Hence, number of moles of gases A and B will be

n1=2m16M  and  n2=mM

Hence, n1n2=18

Hence, option (4) is correct.

Partial pressure exerted by a gas is P=nRTV

Hence, P2P1=n2n1=8

Therefore, option (3) is also correct.
