Five molecules of a gas have speeds $1, 2, 4, 8$ and $16 \, m/s$ at some instant. The root mean square velocity of the gas molecules is ..... $m/s$.

$Assertion :$ The root mean square and most probable speeds of the molecules in a gas are the same.
$Reason :$ The Maxwell distribution for the speed of molecules in a gas is symmetrical.

The root mean square speed of molecules of a given mass of a gas at $27^{\circ} C$ and $1$ atmosphere pressure is $200\, ms^{-1}$. The root mean square speed of molecules of the gas at $127^{\circ} C$ and $2$ atmosphere pressure is $\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}\, ms^{-1}$. The value of $x$ will be ......$ms^{-1}$.

The molecules of a given mass of a gas have a $r.m.s.$ velocity of $200 \, m/s$ at $27^{\circ}C$ and $1.0 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$ pressure. When the temperature is $127^{\circ}C$ and pressure is $0.5 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$,the $r.m.s.$ velocity in $m/s$ will be
