Answer»

The correct answer is (b) HYDROGEN

For explanation: The formula of average SPEED is given by \(\sqrt{2RT/M}\), where R is universal gas constant, T is a TEMPERATURE in Kelvin and M is the MASS in kilograms. From the formula, we understand that the average speed is inversely proportional to the ROOT over the mass. As hydrogen has the least mass among the options it has the highest average speed.
