The volume of air increases by $5\%$ in its adiabatic expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be ...... $\%$

A

$5$

B

$6$

C

$7$

D

$8$

Solution

(c) $P{V^\gamma } = K$or $P\gamma \,{V^{\gamma – 1}}dV + dP.\;{V^\gamma } = 0$
or $\frac{{dP}}{P} = – \gamma \frac{{dV}}{V}$ or $\frac{{dP}}{P} \times 100 = – \gamma \,\left( {\frac{{dV}}{V} \times 100} \right)$
$ = – 1.4 \times 5 = 7\% $
