An ideal gas in a closed container is heated so that the final rms speed of the gas particles increases by $2$ times the initial rms speed. If the initial gas temperature is $27^{\circ} C$, then the final temperature of the ideal gas is : (in $^{\circ} C$)

The temperature of an ideal gas is increased from $100 \ K$ to $400 \ K$. If '$x$' is the root mean square velocity of its molecules at $100 \ K$,what is the new root mean square velocity?
