Answer:
Correct Answer: 14. (b)
Solution:
- (b) $\because P=\frac{1}{3} \frac{m N}{V} v_rms^{2}$
where $m=$ mass of each molecules
$N=$ total number of molecules
$V=$ volume of the gas
When mass is halved and speed is doubled then
Resultant pressure, $P^{\prime}=\frac{1}{3} \times(\frac{m}{2}) \times \frac{N}{V}(2 v _{rms})^{2}$
$ =2 P $
