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

Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stop cock. A contains an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stop cock is suddenly opened. The process is :

A sample of 0.1 g of water at 100°C and normal pressure (1.013 105 N m-2) requires 54 cal of heat energy to convert to steam at 100°C. If the volume of the steam produced is 167.1 cc, the change in internal energy of the sample, is

1. 104.3 J
2. 208.7 J
3. 42.2 J
4. 84.5 J

The volume (V) of a monatomic gas varies with its temperature (T), as shown in the graph. The ratio of work done by the gas, to the heat absorbed by it, when it undergoes a change from state A to state B, is [figure]
