The speed of sound in oxygen O2 at certain temperature is 460m/sec. The speed of sound in Helium (He) at same temperature will be (assumed both gases to be ideal)

a
460 m/s
b
500 m/s
c
650 m/s
d
1420 m/s

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Speed of sound in gas  V=γRTm ∴  V1V2=γ1γ2×m2m1=75×453×32 ⇒460V2=2125×8 ⇒V2=460×5×2221=1420 m/sec
