For a gaseous state,if the most probable speed is denoted by $C^*$,average speed by $\overline{C}$,and root mean square speed by $C$,then for a large number of molecules,the ratio of these speeds is:

  • A
    $C^* : \overline{C} : C = 1.225 : 1.128 : 1$
  • B
    $C^* : \overline{C} : C = 1.128 : 1.225 : 1$
  • C
    $C^* : \overline{C} : C = 1 : 1.128 : 1.225$
  • D
    $C^* : \overline{C} : C = 1 : 1.225 : 1.128$
