Solution
The correct option is
B
O
2
and
He
For monoatomic gas,
γ
=
5
3
=
1.67
For diatomic gas,
γ
=
7

=
1.4

For an adiabatic process,
P
V
γ
=
Constant
⇒
P
∝
1
V
γ
For a given
V
, lower the value of
γ
, higher will be the value of
P
.
As, curve
(
1
)
will have higher
P
for a given
V
,
Curve
(
1
)
will be a diatomic gas
(
O
2
)
and curve
(
2
)
will be a monoatomic
(
He
)
gas.
Hence, option
(
B
)
is correct.
Why this question?
Key concept: For
P
V
γ
=
constant
, in
P
−
V
graph, higher the value of
γ
, higher the slope.
