By graham's law of diffusion
t2/t1 = (M2/M1) ^ ½ t2/t1
= (32/2) ^½ t2/t1
= (16/1) ^ ½ t2/t1
= 4t2 = 4t1
So 1 molecule of oxygen takes same time to escape as that of 4 molecules of Hydrogen
Time taken by X molecules of oxygen to escape in the same time required by ½ of hydrogen to escape = (½) x (¼) = 1/8
