Explain how to solve this question :

Dear Student, 

The reaction involve in this : N2 +O2 2NO
& the no. of moles of N2, O2,& NO is 1,2 & 3 respectively. and the volume of solution given 100 litres. 
Concentration of N2, O2,& NO is 0.01, 0.02 & 0.03 M respectively
So, the equilibrium constant K = [NO]2[N2][O2]    = (0.03)20.01×0.02    = 4.5 

Now, if the concentration of NO is changed to 0.04 , even though K value will be same. So, the concentration of oxygen can calculated. Let the new concentration of oxygen will be 'x'
                            ​4.5=0.04×0.040.01×xx = 0.04×0.044.5×0.01   = 0.0356 M
Now the number of oxygen will be = 0.0356 x 100 = 3.56 moles of oxygen.
So, the extra moles of oxygen to be added = 3.56 - 2 = 1.56 mole or 100/64 mole.

So, the answer will be (iv) None of these.
