Detailed Solution

Potential energy of an ideal gas is zero because inter molecular forces between them is zero. Degree of freedom of an ideal diatomic gas is 5. In this 2 is rotational and 3 is translational. According to  law of equipartition of energy  internal energy is equally distributed in all degrees of freedom.
Therefore, rotational kinetic energy =  23×100=40J
               Translational kinetic energy =  35×100=60J
