The speed of sound in a gas is V and the root mean square speed of gas molecules is vrms.  If the ratio of the specific heats of gas γ=1.5 then ratio v/vrms is 

a
1:3
b
1:4
c
1:2
d
1:2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Root Mean Square Velocity : Vrms=3Pρ Speed of sound in a gas : V=γPρ ∴VVrms=γ3=1.53=12
