Solution

The correct option is B $P_{2} = P_{1}, T_{2} = \frac{T_{1}}{2}$
$K . E = \frac{1}{2} NkT = constant$
$N T = constant \Rightarrow T \propto \frac{1}{N}$
Hence final temperature is halved as $N$ is doubled.
and $K . E = \frac{f}{2} PV = constant$
For a closed container, $V =$ constant. Hence pressure is also constant.
