Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
C, D
Solution:

For option (A) From Fig (i), if is clear that

or,

since both X and Y are at same temp.

since X is whose molar Mass is 16 .

can't be because.

∴ (A) is wrong.

for option (B), see Fig (ii)

(ii)

in lower speed region shaded area in figure, fraction of molecules of fraction of molecules of Y . As shaded area is greater for X as compared to Y . In higher speed region, shaded area in fig. fraction of molecules of fraction of molecules of X . Therefore (B) is wrong.

for option 'C'  

under identical conditions of P & T.

rate of effusion ∝

∴ MY < MX (from (i))

∴ rate of effusion of Y > X.

∴ (C) is correct.

for option 'D'

Molar KE = 

∴ Both X and Y are at same tempt. = 200 K

∴ Molar (KE)X = Molar(KE)Y .

∴ (D) is correct
