Two identical containers A and B with frictionless pistons contain the same ideal gas at the same temperature and the same volume V. The mass of the gas in A is 
and that in B is 
. The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to the same final volume 2V. The changes in the pressure in A and B are found to be 
and 1.5 
respectively. Then
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Process is isothermal. Therefore, T = constant,
volume is increasing, therefore pressure will decrease.
In chamber A:
