normal
Initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First it is expanded isothermally to volume $4\ V$ and then compressed adiabatically to volume $V.$ The final pressure of gas will be (given $\gamma = 3/2)$
A
$1P$
B
$2P$
C
$4P$
D
$8P$
Solution

$1 \rightarrow 2: P V=P^{\prime} .4 V \Rightarrow 4 V \Rightarrow P^{\prime}=\frac{P}{4}$
$2 \rightarrow 3: P^{\prime}(4 V)^{\gamma}=P^{\prime}(V)^{\gamma} \Rightarrow P^{\prime}=P^{\prime}(4)^{\gamma}$
$P^{\prime}=\frac{P}{4}(4)^{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{P}{4} \cdot 8=2 P$
