An ideal gas has $N$ molecules in a closed box at temperature $T_1$ and pressure $P_1$. If the number of molecules in the box is doubled and the total kinetic energy is kept the same,what will be the new pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$?

  • A
    $P_2 = P_1, T_2 = T_1$
  • B
    $P_2 = P_1, T_2 = T_1/2$
  • C
    $P_2 = 2P_1, T_2 = T_1$
  • D
    $P_2 = 2P_1, T_2 = T_1/2$

$A$ horizontal uniform glass tube of $100 \ cm$ length, sealed at both ends, contains a $10 \ cm$ mercury column in the middle. The temperature and pressure of air on either side of the mercury column are $31^{\circ} C$ and $76 \ cm$ of mercury, respectively. If the air column at one end is kept at $0^{\circ} C$ and the other end at $273^{\circ} C$, then the pressure of air which is at $0^{\circ} C$ is (in $cm$ of $Hg$):
