Using v    =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{m}}}

\frac{\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{H}_2}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{\mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{H}_2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{1}}=4: 1

(since both hydrogen and oxygen are di-atomic, \gamma will be same)
