Two samples $A$ and $B$ of gas are initially at the same pressure and temperature. They are compressed from volume $V$ to $\frac{V}{2}$ ($A$ isothermally and $B$ adiabatically). The relation between the pressure of gas $A$ $(P_A)$ and the pressure of gas $B$ $(P_B)$ is:

  • A
    $P_A < P_B$
  • B
    $P_A > P_B$
  • C
    $P_A = P_B$
  • D
    $P_A = 2P_B$

In a certain thermodynamical process,the pressure of a gas depends on its volume as $P = kV^{3}$. The work done when the temperature changes from $100^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ will be .......... $nR$,where $n$ denotes the number of moles of a gas.

Two gases $A$ and $B$ are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius $r_A$ and $r_B$,respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the systems reversibly under constant pressure,the pistons of gas $A$ and $B$ are displaced by $16 \ cm$ and $9 \ cm$,respectively. If the change in their internal energy is the same,then the ratio $\frac{r_A}{r_B}$ is equal to
