At $27^{\circ} C$, a closed vessel contains a mixture of equal weights of helium (mol. wt. = $4$), methane (mol. wt. = $16$) and sulphur dioxide (mol. wt. = $64$). The pressure exerted by the mixture is $210 \ mm$. If the partial pressures of helium, methane and sulphur dioxide are $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ respectively, which one of the following is correct?

  • A
    $p_3 > p_2 > p_1$
  • B
    $p_1 > p_2 > p_3$
  • C
    $p_1 > p_3 > p_2$
  • D
    $p_2 > p_3 > p_1$
