Detailed Solution
Kinetic energy per degree of freedom is 12KTAs diatomic gas posses two degree of freedom for rotational motion therefore rotational kinetic energy = 2.12KT=KTIn the problem both gases are diatomic and have same temperature. Therefore the average rotational kinetic energy will be equal to one.
