Let $\overline{V}$, $V_{\text{rms}}$, and $V_{p}$ denote the mean speed, root mean square speed, and most probable speed of the molecules each of mass $m$ in an ideal monoatomic gas at absolute temperature $T$ Kelvin. Which statement$(s)$ is/are correct?

When the temperature of a gas is raised from $27^o C$ to $90^o C$,the percentage increase in the $r.m.s.$ velocity of the molecules will be ..... $\%$

The temperature at which the root mean square velocity of hydrogen molecules equals their escape velocity from the Earth is closest to: [Boltzmann constant $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \, J/K$,Avogadro number $N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \, mol^{-1}$,Molar mass of $H_2 = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, kg/mol$,Radius of Earth $R_e = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, m$,Gravitational acceleration $g = 10 \, m/s^2$]

$N$ $(N < 100)$ molecules of a gas have velocities $1, 2, 3, ..., N \text{ km/s}$ respectively. Then:
