The Kelvin temperature of an ideal gas is

According to the kinetic molecular theory of gases,which of the following statements are correct?
$a$) The actual volume of the molecules is negligible in comparison to the empty space between them.
$b$) Collisions of gas molecules are inelastic.
$c$) At any particular time,different particles in the gas have the same speed and same kinetic energies.
$d$) Pressure is exerted by the gas as a result of the collision of the particles with the walls of the container.

For a fixed amount of gas at constant volume,what is the reason for the increase in pressure with an increase in temperature?

If the kinetic energy in $J$,of $CH_4$ (molar mass $= 16 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) at $T(K)$ is $X$,the kinetic energy in $J$,of $O_2$ (molar mass $= 32 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) at the same temperature is

$X$ and $Y$ are two volatile liquids with molar weights of $10 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ and $40 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. Two cotton plugs,one soaked in $X$ and the other soaked in $Y$,are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length $L = 24 \ cm$. The tube is filled with an inert gas at $1 \ atmosphere$ pressure and a temperature of $300 \ K$. Vapours of $X$ and $Y$ react to form a product which is first observed at a distance $d \ cm$ from the plug soaked in $X$. Take $X$ and $Y$ to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours.
$1.$ The value of $d$ in $cm$,as estimated from Graham's law,is:
$(A) \ 8 \ (B) \ 12 \ (C) \ 16 \ (D) \ 20$
$2.$ The experimental value of $d$ is found to be smaller than the estimate obtained using Graham's law. This is due to:
$(A)$ larger mean free path for $X$ as compared to that of $Y$.
$(B)$ larger mean free path for $Y$ as compared to that of $X$.
$(C)$ increased collision frequency of $Y$ with the inert gas as compared to that of $X$ with the inert gas.
$(D)$ increased collision frequency of $X$ with the inert gas as compared to that of $Y$ with the inert gas.
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.
