The optimum intermediate pressure p, for a gas turbine plant operating between pressure limits \[{{p}_{1}}\] and \[{{p}_{2}}\] with perfect intercolling between the two stages of compression (with identical isentropic efficiency) is given by:

A) \[{{p}_{1}}={{p}_{2}}-{{p}_{1}}\]                

B) \[{{p}_{i}}={{p}_{i}}=\frac{1}{2}({{p}_{1}}+{{p}_{2}})\]

C) \[{{p}_{i}}=\sqrt{{{p}_{1}}.{{p}_{2}}}\]                    

D) \[{{p}_{i}}=\sqrt{p_{2}^{2}.p_{1}^{2}}\]
