\mathrm{P V=n R T }\\

\mathrm{100 \times 10^{3} \times 2000 \times 10^{-6}=n \times 8.3 \times 300} \\

\mathrm{n=\frac{2}{25}}

Let  \mathrm{n_{1} }\\ moles of hydrogen

       \mathrm{n_{2} }\\ moles of oxygen

\mathrm{n_{1}+n_{2}=\frac{2}{25}}\\              .............(1)

\mathrm{n_{1} \times 2+n_{2} \times 32=0.76=\frac{19}{25}}                ..........(2)

The solving (1) and (2)

\mathrm{n_{1}=0.06} \\

\mathrm{n_{2}=0.02} \\

\mathrm{\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}=\frac{0.06}{0.02}=3}

Hence the correct answer is option 2.
