The mass of molecule $A$ is half the mass of molecule $B$. The $rms$ speed of $A$ is twice the $rms$ speed of $B$. If two samples of $A$ and $B$ contain the same number of molecules and are taken in two separate containers of equal volume,what will be the ratio of the pressure of $A$ to the pressure of $B$ $(P_A/P_B)$?

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $0.5$
