The correct answer is: 23ρ0

Given, density of gas at point A, ρA=ρ0

General equation for an ideal gas

pV=nRT

pV=mMRT  [mmass, M molecular mass]

p=mV·RM·T

p=ρRMT   ...i    [where density ρ=mV]

Applying Equation. (i) at point A and B, respectively.

p=ρARMT0   ...ii

2p=ρBRM3T0   ...iii

From Equations. (ii) and (iii), we get

12=ρAρB·13

ρB=23ρA=23ρ0
