Consider the equilibrium $CO_{(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CH_{4(g)} + H_2O_{(g)}$. If the pressure applied over the system increases by two-fold at constant temperature,then which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ Concentration of reactants and products increases.
$(B)$ Equilibrium will shift in the forward direction.
$(C)$ Equilibrium constant increases since the concentration of products increases.
$(D)$ Equilibrium constant remains unchanged as the concentration of reactants and products remain the same.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $(A)$ and $(B)$ only
  • B
    $(A)$,$(B)$ and $(D)$ only
  • C
    $(B)$ and $(C)$ only
  • D
    $(A)$,$(B)$ and $(C)$ only
