Consider a mixture of gas molecules of types $A, B$,and $C$ having masses $m_{A} < m_{B} < m_{C}$. The ratio of their root mean square speeds at normal temperature and pressure is:

  • A
    $v_{A} = v_{B} \neq v_{C}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{v_{A}} > \frac{1}{v_{B}} > \frac{1}{v_{C}}$
  • C
    $v_{A} = v_{B} = v_{C} = 0$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{v_{A}} < \frac{1}{v_{B}} < \frac{1}{v_{C}}$
