    Since neon is a noble gas we can easily assume its behaviour to be an ideal gas. In ideal gases pressure is said to be inversely proportional to volume,

    at fixed temperature, this is Boyle's law.

    Therefore we can use this law to state the following equation

    P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

    in this case temperature is fixed therefore it can be eliminated,

    then,

    P1V1 = P2V2

    standard pressure (P1) is 101 325 Pa

    V1 = 375 ml

    P2 = 90 000 Pa

    substituting these values,

    101 325 Pa * 375 ml = 90 000 Pa * V2

    V2 = 101 325 * 375 / 90 000

    = 422.18 ml

    After rounding off the final answer is option A - 422 ml

    At STP conditions value of absolute pressure is 101.325 kPa.

    From the given data we can determine the new volume of neon using following proportion:

    V : V1 = p : p1

    375 : V1 = 101.325 : 90

    101 * V1 = 90 * 375

    V1 = 33750/101 = 333ml
