The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: \[ PV = NkT \Rightarrow N \propto \frac{PV}{T} \]

Step 1:
Jar A
\[ N_A \propto \frac{P_0 V}{T} \]

Step 2:
Jar B
\[ N_B \propto \frac{2P_0 \cdot (V/4)}{2T} = \frac{P_0 V}{4T} \]

Step 3:
Ratio
\[ N_A : N_B = \frac{P_0 V}{T} : \frac{P_0 V}{4T} = 4:1 \] Conclusion: \[ {(D)} \]
