    A certain gas is taken to the five states represented by dots in the graph. The plotted lines are isotherms. Order of the most probable speed \[{{V}_{P}}\]of the molecules at these five states is:

    A) \[{{V}_{P\,at\,3}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,1}}={{V}_{P\,at\,2}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,4}}={{V}_{P\,at\,5}}\]

    B) \[{{V}_{P\,at\,1}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,2}}={{V}_{P\,at\,3}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,4}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,5}}\]

    C) \[{{V}_{P\,at\,3}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,2}}={{V}_{P\,at\,4}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,1}}>{{V}_{P\,at\,5}}\]

    D) Insufficient information to predict the result.                      

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Stages 1 and 2 are at same temperature also stages 4 and 5 are at same temperature. As, \[{{V}_{P}}\] is more at higher temperature and same at all stages at equal temperature. \[\therefore \] \[{{V}_{P3}}>{{V}_{P1}}={{V}_{P2}}>{{V}_{P4}}={{V}_{P5}}\] Hence [A].
