HELLO PIYUSH SHARMA
Molecular weight of the gas = 2 x vapour density
                                           = 26 x 2
                                           = 52 g
and you know that,
PV = nRT
At STP, T= 273K
P = 1atm
and V = 2L
R = 0.0821 L atm/K.
therefore,
n = PV/RT
   =  1 X 2
-----------------------------------------------------      
        0.0821 X 273
=> 0.089 mol
and also,
Mass of the mixture = Number of moles X molecular weight
                              =  52 X 0.089
                             =   4.64gm
and gram atomic weight of the mixture = Molecular mass of CH4 + Molecular mass of SO2
 
                                                                = 16 + 64
                                                               =   80gm
Therefore,total number of atoms = 4.64 X 6.023 X 10^23
                                                    -----------
                                                        80
                                                   = 3.49 X 10^22 no of atoms
