Comprehension Passage

X and Y are two volatile liquids with molar weights of and respectively. Two cotton plugs, one soaked in X and the other soaked in Y, are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length , as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at pressure and a temperature of . Vapours of X and Y react to form a product which is first observed at a distance from the plug soaked in X. Take X and Y to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours.
