At temperature $T$,$N$ molecules of gas $A$ each having mass $m$ and at the same temperature $2N$ molecules of gas $B$ each having mass $2m$ are filled in a container. The mean square velocity of molecules of gas $B$ is $v^2$ and the mean square of the $x$-component of velocity of molecules of gas $A$ is $w^2$. The ratio of $w^2/v^2$ is:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1/3$
  • D
    $2/3$
