The state of an ideal gas was changed isobarically. The graph depicts three such isobaric lines. Which of the following is true about the pressures of the gas?

A
$p_1=p_2=p_3$
B
$p_1 > p_2 > p_3$
C
$p_1 < p_2 < p_3$
D
$p_1 / p_2=p_3 / p_1$
(KVPY-2015)
Solution
(b)
Equation of state for ideal gas is $p V=n R T \Rightarrow V=\frac{n R}{p} \cdot T$
This is equation of line with slope $=\frac{n R}{p}$
$\Rightarrow \quad$ Slope $\propto \frac{1}{p}$
So, from graph, $p_3 < p_2 < p_1$.
