For real gases van der Waals equation is written as (p + an2V2 )(V - nb) = nRT where a and b are van der Waals constants. Two sets of gases are (I) O2, CO2, H2 and He (II) CH4, O2 and H2 The gases given in set-I in increasing order of b and gases given in set-II in decreasing order of a, are arranged below. Select the correct order from the following

1. (I) He < H2 < CO2 < O2 (II) CH4 > H2 > O2
2. (I) O2 < He < H2 < CO2 (II) H2 > O2 > CH4
3. (I) H2 < He < O2 < CO2 (II) CH4 > O2 > H2
4. (I) H2 < O2 < He < CO2 (II) O2 > CH4 > H2
