ans is (a)=2R...
if u want solution nudge me......
nCdT = nCvdT + PdV ......
C = Cv + PdV/(n)dT....
frm graph P=kV ....
PV=nRT .....
dV/dT = nR/2kV ........
BUT P = kV ...........
THUS THE SECOND TERM ON RHS IS R/2 ....
SINCE ITS MONOATOMIC Cv = 3R/2 .....
thus R/2 + 3R/2 = 2R ...... :)
correct sharman !
thats the basic way to do the problem....
but any way take another method.....(formula)
for any process type PVx use the method...
C=(R/(y-1))+(R/(1-x))
where y is cp/cv
cheers!
