All three flasks are measured 1 liter and are placed in the same room making them have the same temperature too. All 3 flasks have also the same number of molecules as they contain the same element (Nitrogen) and have the equal volume as well.

This is a need for solving their mass by using the Avogadro’s Law. Following the Avogadro’s Law, Flask A that has the NH3 gases is 17 g/mol, Flask B with NO2 is 46 g/mol and Flask 3 or with the N2 gas is equal to 28 g/mol. Based on the following answers, Nitrogen Dioxide has the largest number of molecules.

All three flasks are same.

We need to solve the following question using Avogadro's law. The law states"if gases have equal volumes are placed at the same temperature and pressure, then they also have the same number of molecules." Hence, all flasks have same number of molecules.
