Answer
Correct option: A.
a
(a)
(a)
The Maxwell's distribution curve heats at the most probable speed, which depends on temperature.
$V_{\text {probable }} \propto \sqrt{T}$
Hence $T_1 > T_2$ is correctly shown in option $(1)$ as it shows with peaks of the curve at higher temperature, furthers along the $x$-axis.
