Question:

In the following P-V diagram of an ideal gas, two adiabates and two isotherms at T₁=300K and T₂=200K are shown. Values are VA=2, VB=8, VC=16. Find VD. 

Show Hint

Adiabatic curves are steeper than isotherms.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
For adiabatic process: TV^γ-1 = constant
Step 2:
300 × 2^γ-1 = 200 × VD^γ-1
Step 3:
Solving gives VD < 4.
