Solution
The correct option is D Velocity of sound in a gas is given by v=√γRTM For a particular gas γ and M remains constant. So, v∝√T ⇒v2∝T ⇒v2=kT, where k is a constant. Above equation is similar to equation, y2=4ax, which represents a parabola symmetrical about x-axis. Hence, option (d) is correct.
