The correct answer is: $16.36 \mathrm{bar}$
$\begin{gathered}W_{\mathrm{N}_2}=5 \mathrm{~g}, W_{\mathrm{Ar}}=6 \mathrm{~g} \\ n_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{5}{28}=0.18 \mathrm{~mol} \\ n_{\mathrm{Ar}}=\frac{6}{40}=0.15 \mathrm{~mol}\end{gathered}$
$\begin{aligned} \chi_{\mathrm{N}_2} & =\frac{0.18}{0.18+0.15}=\frac{0.18}{0.33}=0.55 \\ p_{\mathrm{N}_2} & =\chi_{\mathrm{N}_2} \times p_{\text {Total }}=0.55 \times 30=16.5 \mathrm{bar}\end{aligned}$
