  1. In a vessel, the gas is at a pressure P. If the mass of all the molecules is halved and their speed is doubled, then the resultant pressure will be
    1. 4P
    2. 2P
    3. P
    4. P/2
Correct Option: A

∵ P =
1
mn
Vrms²
3V

When mass is halved and speed is doubled then
Resultant pressure, Pt =
1

n
(2vrms)² = 2P;
32V
