Detailed Solution

Let both the gases meet at distance = x cm from NH₃ end.

Distance from HBr end = ( 100 - x ) cm

Distance travelled is represented as d cm.

$\large \frac{d_{NH_{3}}}{d_{HBr}}\;=\sqrt{\frac{M_{HBr}}{M_{NH_{3}}}}$

$\large \frac{x}{100-x}\;=\sqrt{\frac{81}{17}}$

$\large x\;=68.5\;cm$
