Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius rA and rB, 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 rArB is equal to

An ideal gas follows a process described by the equation PV2 = C from the initial (P1, V1, T1) to final (P2, V2, T2) thermodynamic states, where C is a constant. Then

1. If P1 > P2 then V1 > V2
2. If P1 > P2 then T1 < T2
3. If V2 > V1 then T2 > T1
4. If V2 > V1 then T2 < T1
