Three closed vessels `A, B` and `C` are at the same temperature `T` and contain gases which obey the Maxwellian distribution of velocities. Vessel `A` contains only `O_(2), B` only `N_(2)` and `C` a mixture of equal quantities of `O_(2)` and `N_(2)`. If the average speed of the `O_(2)` molecules in vessel `A` is `V_(1)`, that of the `N_(2)` molecules in vessel `B` is `V_(2)`, the average speed of the `O_(2)` molecules in vessel `C` is (where `M` is the mass of an oxygen molecule)

A

`(V_(1)+V_(2))//2`

B

`V_(1)`

C

`(V_(1)V_(2))^(1//2)`

D

`sqrt(kT//M)`
