An ideal gas undergoes a quasi static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity $C$ remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is given by $PV^n = $ constant, then $n$ is given by (Here $C_P$ and $C_V$ are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively)

  • A

    $n = \frac{{C - {C_V}}}{{C - {C_P}}}$

  • B

    $n = \frac{{{C_P}}}{{{C_V}}}$

  • C

    $n = \frac{{C - {C_P}}}{{C - {C_V}}}$

  • D

    $n = \frac{{{C_P} - C}}{{C - {C_V}}}$
