Solution

The correct option is C V1<V2

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that has many randomly moving point particles. They do not interact, but exceptionally when they collide elastically. The ideal gas law is the equation of state of the ideal gases.

It is clear that slope at V1 is more than at V2. So the growth of the plot between P and T, at V1 volume is higher. Since for ideal gas P is inversely proportional to volume V. Thus, volume V1 will be less than volume V2.

So, V1<V2

Option B is correct.
