Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The temperature of a gas is $-73^{\circ} C$. When the gas is heated to $527^{\circ} C$,the root mean square speed of the molecules is doubled.
Statement $II$: The product of pressure and volume of an ideal gas is equal to the translational kinetic energy of the molecules.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ cylinder of fixed capacity $44.8 \, L$ contains helium gas at standard temperature and pressure. What is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the gas in the cylinder by $15.0 \, ^{\circ}C$? $(R = 8.31 \, J \, mol^{-1} K^{-1})$

Assertion $(A):$ The total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules of a given mass of an ideal gas is $1.5$ times the product of its pressure and volume.
Reason $(R):$ The molecules of gas collide with each other and the velocities of the molecules change due to the collision.

In the kinetic theory of gases,which of these statements is/are true?
$(i)$ The pressure of a gas is proportional to the mean speed of the molecules.
$(ii)$ The root mean square speed of the molecules is proportional to the pressure.
$(iii)$ The rate of diffusion is proportional to the mean speed of the molecules.
$(iv)$ The mean translational kinetic energy of a gas is proportional to its kelvin temperature.

An ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.5)$ is expanded adiabatically. How many times must the gas be expanded to reduce the root mean square velocity of the molecules $2.0$ times?
