A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then
- A
Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.
- B
Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
- C
Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
- D
Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.

Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box $A$ contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature $T_0$, while box $B$ contains one mole of helium at temperature $\left( {\frac{7}{3}} \right){T_0}$. The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other, and heat flows between them until the gases reach a common final temperature (ignore the heat capacity of boxes). Then, the final temperature of the gases, $T_f$ in terms of $T_0$ is
