For two different gases $X$ and $Y$, having degrees of freedom $f_1$ and $f_2$ and molar heat capacities at constant volume $C_{V1}$ and $C_{V2}$ respectively, the $\ln P$ versus $\ln V$ graph is plotted for an adiabatic process, as shown.

  • A
    $f_1 > f_2$
  • B
    $f_2 > f_1$
  • C
    $C_{V2} > C_{V1}$
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$
