Did you get this right?

Solution

Given that reaction is first order with respect to X and of zero order with respect to Y.

Means $r=k[X]{[Y]}^{0}$ Where k = rate constant.

Using data $I$ & $\mathrm{II}$

$\frac{4\times {10}^{-3}}{2\times {10}^{-3}}=(\frac{L}{0.1}){(\frac{0.2}{0.1})}^{0} \Rightarrow L=0.2$

Using data from $I$ & $\mathrm{III}$

$\frac{M\times {10}^{-3}}{2\times {10}^{-3}}=\frac{0.4}{0.1}\Rightarrow M=8$

Not the ratio which is asked in question

$\frac{M}{L}=\frac{8}{0.2}=40$
