The reaction will be-

\mathrm{2 H_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2 H_{2} O(l) }

Two moles of H2 and one mole of O2 will produce two moles of water.

\mathrm{\text{No. of moles in 10g of } H_{2} = \frac{\text{given mass of } H_{2}}{\text{molar mass of }H_{2}} =\frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ moles}}

\mathrm{\text{No. of moles in 64g of } O_{2} = \frac{\text{given mass of } O_{2}}{\text{molar mass of }O_{2}} =\frac{64}{32} = 2 \text{ moles}}

5 Moles of H2 can produce 5 moles of water while 2 moles of O2 can produce 4 moles of water. 

Thus, O2 is the limiting reactant and 4 moles H2O will be produced.

Therefore, the correct option is (4).
