Solution

The correct option is A 4R
Given:
γ=1.5
From the first law of thermodynamics,
ΔQ=ΔU+W
For this process,
W=ΔU (Given)
ΔQ=ΔU+ΔU
ΔQ=2ΔU ...........(1)
Let C be the molar heat capacity of gas for the given process.
We know that, ΔQ=nCΔT
and ΔU=nCVΔT
Substituting in the equation (1),
nCΔT=2nCVΔT
C=2CV
Using, CV=Rγ1=R1.51=2R
C=2(2R)
C=4R
