Answer : The correct option is, (D) There would be no difference in the average kinetic energies.

Explanation :

Average kinetic energy : According to the kinetic theory of gases, an average kinetic energy of gas molecule is directly proportional to the temperature of gas molecule.

Formula of average kinetic energy is,

[tex]K.E=\frac{3}{2}\frac{RT}{N_A}[/tex]

where,

K.E = average kinetic energy of gas molecule

R = gas constant

[tex]N_A[/tex] = Avogadro's number

T = temperature of gas molecule

The average kinetic energy depend only on the temperature. If the temperature will be same then there would be no difference in the average kinetic energies.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) There would be no difference in the average kinetic energies.
