The correct answer is: 5 bar
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{O}_2}=\frac{64}{32}=2 \mathrm{~mol} ; \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{e}}}=\frac{160}{20}=8 \mathrm{~mol} \\ & x_{\mathrm{O}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{\mathrm{n}_{\text {Total }}}=\frac{2}{2+8}=\frac{2}{10}=0.2 \\ & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{O}_2}=x_{\mathrm{O}_2} \times \mathrm{P}_{\text {Total }}=0.2 \times 25=5 \mathrm{bar}\end{aligned}$
