The gas molecules randomly move in all directions and collide with each other and with the wall of the container. If is difficult to determine the speed of an individual molecule but it had become passible to work out the distribution of molecules among different molecular speeds. This is known as Maxwell Boltzmann distribution
consider the following graph about Maxwell's distribution of speed at two different temperature `T_(1) " and " T_(2)`

In the above graph the point 'P' refers to :

A

root mean square speed at `T_(1)`

B

average speed at `T_(1)`

C

most probable speed at `T_(1)`

D

highest possible speed at `T_(1)`
