  • B 214.15 kg
  • C 219.07 kg
  • D 123.54 kg

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Pm = ρ\rho RT

∴\therefore P1P2=ρ1T1ρ1T2{{{P_1}} \over {{P_2}}} = {{{\rho _1}{T_1}} \over {{\rho _1}{T_2}}}

ρ1ρ2⇒P1T2P2T1=(7645)×266300{{{\rho _1}} \over {{\rho _2}}} \Rightarrow {{{P_1}{T_2}} \over {{P_2}{T_1}}} = \left( {{{76} \over {45}}} \right) \times {{266} \over {300}}

ρ1ρ2⇒M1M2=76×26645×300{{{\rho _1}} \over {{\rho _2}}} \Rightarrow {{{M_1}} \over {{M_2}}} = {{76 \times 266} \over {45 \times 300}}

∴\therefore M2⇒45×300×18576×266=123.54{M_2} \Rightarrow {{45 \times 300 \times 185} \over {76 \times 266}} = 123.54 kg
