For the reaction, 2A + B $$ \to $$ products, when the concentrations of A and B both were doubled, the rate of the reaction increased from 0.3 mol L$$-$$1s$$-$$1 to 2.4 mol L$$-$$1s$$-$$1. When the concentration of A alone is doubled, the rate increased from 0.3 mol L$$-$$1s$$-$$1 to 0.6 mol L$$-$$1s$$-$$1.
Answer
(B)
Order of the reaction with respect to B is 2
