Correct answer
315

Step-by-step explanation


$\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{r}_1 & 1.5 \mathrm{~atm} \quad 0.7 \mathrm{~atm} \\ \mathrm{r}_2 & 0.5 \mathrm{~atm} \quad 0.2 \mathrm{~atm} \quad 0.5 \mathrm{~atm} \\ & \because \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{K}\left[\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}\right]^2\left[\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}\right] \\ & \mathrm{r}_1=\mathrm{K}[1.5]^2[0.7] \\ & \mathrm{r}_2=\mathrm{K}[0.5]^2[0.2] \\ & \frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}=9 \times \frac{7}{2}=31.5=315 \times 10^{-1} \end{array}$ Ans. 315
