Answer:
As you can see that water splits in to 2 molecules of Hydrogen and 1 molecule of Oxygen. ... Since, number of molecules of Hydrogen released is double the number of molecules of Oxygen released, Volume occupied by Hydrogen gas is double the volume occupied by Oxygen gas.

When electricity is passed through the water, a decomposition reaction takes place and water divides into hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
You can see the number of hydrogen molecule is double than the number of oxygen molecule.
So, the gas produced at cathode is double than the gas produced at anode.
