Solution

The correct option is D $1 + \frac{2}{f}$
We know that $C_{v} = n o . o f d e g r e e s o f f r e e d o m \times m o l a r g a s c o n s t a n t / 2$
$o r C_{v} = f R / 2. A l s o C_{P} - C_{v} = R$
Therefore
$\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = \frac{R}{C_{v}} + 1 = \frac{2 R}{f R} + 1 = \frac{2}{f} + 1$
Hence, the correct choice is (d).
