If the molecular weights of two gases are $M_1$ and $M_2$,then at a constant temperature,the ratio of their root mean square velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ will be:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_1}{M_2}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_1 + M_2}{M_1 - M_2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_1 - M_2}{M_1 + M_2}}$
