Three containers of the same volume contain three different gases. The masses of the molecules are m₁ m₂ and m₃, and the number of molecules in their respective containers are N₁ N₂ and N₃. The gas pressure in the containers are P₁, P₂ and P₃ respectively. All the gases are now mixed and put in one of these containers. The pressure P of the mixture will be

(a) P < (P₁+P₂+P₃)

(b) P = (P₁ + P₂ + P₃)/3

(c) P = P₁ + P₂ + P₃

(d) P > (P₁ + P₂ + P₃)
