If Maxwell distribution is valid and vpv_p denotes the most probable speed, vavv_{av} is the average speed and vrmsv_{rms} is the root-mean-square speed, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
vp<vav<vrmsv_p < v_{av} < v_{rms}
Option C (vp<vav<vrmsv_p < v_{av} < v_{rms}) is correct because the most probable speed is the lowest, followed by the average speed, and the root-mean-square speed is the highest.
