At what temperature is the root mean square (rms) speed of Neon gas atoms equal to the rms speed of Helium gas atoms at $-33^{\circ} C$ (in $K$)? (Atomic mass of $Ne = 20.2 \ u$ and that of $He = 4.0 \ u$)

$A$ container is divided into two equal parts $L$ and $R$. If the root mean square (rms) speed of the molecules in part $L$ is equal to the average speed of the molecules in part $R$,find the ratio of the mass of a molecule in part $L$ to the mass of a molecule in part $R$.
