Solution
The correct option is B hyperbola
Boyle's law states that, at constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
⇒ P α 1/V
or
PV = constant
Thus, the presuure decreases on increase in volume and vice versa.
Hence, on plotting the graph at constant temperature, by taking volume on x - axis and pressure on y, we obtain a hyperbola.
