Detailed Solution

Let 1 mol of gas is present. So, 22.4 L will be the volume of the mixture

Density=Massvolume 0.543=Mass22.4=12.16 g

Molar mass of mixture is 12.16 g.

% of oxygen present in mixture = x

% of He present in mixture = 1-x

Molar Mass of oxygen and He are 32 and 4 g/mol respectively

12.16=32×x+(1-x)4 12.16=32x+4-4x 8.16=x32-4 8.16=28x x=0.29

From partial pressure of O2, the mass of oxygen is determined and the percentage of oxygen becomes 80%.
