The correct answer is: $1.18$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}$
$\frac{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}\right)_{\mathrm{H}_{2}}}{\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{rms}}\right)_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{3 \times \mathrm{R} \times 50}{2}}}{\sqrt{\frac{3 \times \mathrm{R} \times 500}{28}}}=1.18$
