The correct option is D 2245atm
The entire process can be represented as
( P1=2 atm V1=4.8 m3 )Suddenly−−−−−−→compressed[Adiabatic]( P2=P atm V2=1.2 m3 )Slowly−−−−−−→compressed[Isothermal]( P3=P′ atm V3=0.6 m3 )
From the equation of state for an adiabatic process in terms of P and V we can write that,
P1Vγ1=P2Vγ2
from the data given in the question,
2×(4.8)75=P×(1.2)75
⇒P=2×(4)75 .........(1)
We know that equation of state for an isothermal process is given by,
P2V2=P3V3
P×1.2=P′×0.6
⇒P′=2P
P′=2×2×475=2245 atm
Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
