AIPMTAIPMT 1994

Solution:

The amount of noble gases present in atmosphere (in percent by) is given below:
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, Element \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Abundance$
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, $ (Volume%)
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, He \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 5.24 \, \times \, 10^{-4}$
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Ne \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 1.82 \, \times \, 10^{-3}$
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Ar \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 0.934$
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Kr \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 1.14 \, \times \, 10^{-3}$
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Xe \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 8.7 \, \times \, 10^{-6}$
So, argon is most abundant, not helium.
