The correct answer is: 2

By using formula,



γmixture=μ1Cp1+μ2Cp2μ1+μ2μ1Cu1+μ2Cv2μ1+μ2



γmixture=μ1Cp1+μ2Cp2μ1Cv1+μ2Cv2



=μ1γ1γ1-1R+μ2γ2γ2-1Rμ1Rγ1-1+μ2Rγ2-1



or γmixture=μ1γ1γ2-1+μ2γ2γ1-1μ1γ2-1+μ2γ1-1



It is given, γmixture=1913



γ1=53,γ2=75



n1=1,n2=n



Substituting values, we have 



1913=5375-1+n7553-175-1+n53-1



1913=53×25+n75×2325+n23



1925+n23=1323+n1415



n=2



Number of moles of gas B=2.
