Partial Pressure of a gas in gaseous mixture -

Partial Pressure = (Total Pressure of Mixture) \times (mole fraction of gas)

 

-

 

 suppose mass of H_{2}    = x

then, mass of  O_{2} = 4x

Moles of  H_{2}=\frac{x}{2}

Moles of O_{2}=\frac{4x}{32}=\frac{x}{8}

 molar\ ratio =\frac{\frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x}{8}} = 4:1

Option 2)

2 : 1

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)
