Detailed Solution

The mean square velocity of gas molecules is given by 

v2=3kTm

For gas Av2A=3kTm  ……   i

For a gas molecule,

v2=v2x+v2y+v2z=3v2x                          This implies (v2x=v2y=v2z)

or v2x=v23

From eqn. (i), we get

w2=v2x=3kTm3=kTm   ……..ii

For gas Bv2B=v2=3kT2m ………iii

Dividing eqn. (ii) by eqn. (iii), we get

w2v2=kTm3kT2m=23
