Options
- A1:1:1
- B1:1.128:1.224
- C1.224:1:1.128
- D1:1.224:1.128
Correct answer
B. 1:1.128:1.224
Step-by-step solution
The ratio between the three speeds is 1:1.128:1.224, with the most probable speed being 1, the average speed being 1.128 times that, and the root mean square speed being 1.224 times that.
