Detailed Solution

According to the problem, mass of gases is equal so number of moles will not be equal, i.e., μA≠μBFrom ideal gas equation, PV=μRT∴PAVAμA=PBVBμB(as temperatures of the containers are equal) From this relation it is clear that if PA=PB; then          VAVB=μAμB≠1i.e.,   VA≠VBSimilarly, if VA=VB then             PAPB=μAμB≠1 i.e.,  PA≠PB
