X and Y are two equal size containers. X contains a gas A at a temperature `75^@ `C and Y contains a gas B at a temperature `40^@ `C. Each gas behaves as an ideal gas and specific heat at constant pressure for both gases has the same value.
From the given information, we can conclude that

A

the molecules in container X are moving as fast as those in container Y.

B

the molecules in container X are moving faster than those in container Y.

C

the molecules in container Y are moving faster than those in container X.

D

no possibility can be ruled out, that is, molecules in X could be moving faster than those in Y or the mole cules in Y could be moving faster than those in X.
