1. What do they have in common?

As mentioned in the problem, these gases are present in equal amounts. So, that would infer that they are common in terms of their mass. Also, it is specified that the temperature is 25°C. Connected to that is the average kinetic energy, which is directly proportional. Hence, they are also common in temperature and average kinetic energy.

2. What are the differences?

They differ in type, of course. Also, they differ in average velocities which is a factor of temperature of molar mass. Since they are 3 different types of gases with different molar masses, they would also differ in their average velocities.
