Detailed Solution

Let velocity of any molecule = vxi^+vyj^+vzk^

Root mean square velocity = vx2+vy2+vz22

vrms=vx2+vy2+vz2

But probability of motion in all directions is the same, so vx=vy=vz

vrms=3vx2vx=vrms/3

Root mean square of the component of velocity in any one particular direction = vx2=vx

Clearly, required component = vx=vrms/3
