Which of the following is an elementary reaction?

If a reaction has the experimental rate expression $\text{rate} = K [A]^2[B]$,what happens to the reaction rate if the concentration of $A$ is doubled and the concentration of $B$ is halved?

For the reaction $H_{2(g)} + Br_{2(g)} \to 2HBr_{(g)}$,the experimental data suggest,$\text{rate} = K[H_2][Br_2]^{1/2}$. The molecularity and order of the reaction are respectively:

$2 \ NO_{(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \ NOCl_{(g)}$
This reaction was studied at $-10^{\circ} C$ and the following data was obtained:
$Run$ $[NO]_{0}$ $[Cl_{2}]_{0}$ $r_{0}$
$1$ $0.10$ $0.10$ $0.18$
$2$ $0.10$ $0.20$ $0.35$
$3$ $0.20$ $0.20$ $1.40$

$[NO]_{0}$ and $[Cl_{2}]_{0}$ are the initial concentrations and $r_{0}$ is the initial reaction rate.
The overall order of the reaction is ..........
