    Figure shows graphs of pressure vs density for an ideal gas at two temperatures T1 and T2.
    (a) T1 > T2
    (b) T1 = T2
    (c) T1 < T2
    (d) Any of the three is possible.

    digAnsr:   a
    Ans : The straight line T1 has greater slope than T​2. This means `` \frac{P}{\rho }`` ratio is greater for T1 than T2. Now, rms velocity of a gas is given by `` \sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho }}``. This means rms velocity of gas with T1 molecules is greater than T2 molecules. Again, gas with higher temperature has higher rms velocity.
    So, T1 > T2.
    Thus,
    (a) is the correct answer.
