The correct answer is: $5 x$
$\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{A}}=\sqrt{5}{ }_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{r}}, \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{xgmol}^{-1}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{r_A}{r_B}=\sqrt{\frac{M_B}{M_A}} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\right)^2=\frac{M_B}{M_A} \\ & \Rightarrow\left(\frac{\sqrt{5} r_B}{r_B}\right)^2=\frac{M_B}{x} \\ & \Rightarrow 5=\frac{M_B}{x} \Rightarrow M_B=5 x .\end{aligned}$
