Detailed Solution

Most probable speed of a gas is the speed possessed by the maximum number of gas molecules.

The formula for root mean square speed is Vrms=3RTM
And, the formula for most probable speed is Vmps=2RTM
Here, R= gas constant, T= absolute temperature and M= molar mass of the gas.

Vrms of X gas=3RTxMx  Vmps of Y gas=2RTyMy

According to the given question:

Vrms of X gas= Vmps of Y gas 3RTXMX=2RTYMy  (squaring both sides) 3RTXMX=2RTYMy My=2TYMX3TX My=2×60×403×400 =4
