$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants), while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:

  • A
    the rate of increase in internal energy is $\frac{5}{2} R(\alpha+\beta t)$
  • B
    the current flowing in the element is $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2 r} R(\alpha+\beta t)}$
  • C
    the piston moves upwards with constant acceleration
  • D
    the piston moves upwards with constant speed

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:
