Neon gas of a given mass expands isothermally to double volume. What should be the further fractional decrease in pressure, so that the gas when adiabatically compressed from that state, reaches the original state?

  • A

    $1-2^{-2 / 3}$

  • B

    $1-3^{1 / 3}$

  • C

    $2^{1 / 3}$

  • D

    $3^{2 / 3}$
