An ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity $C$ remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is given by $PV^n = \text{constant}$, then $n$ is given by (Here $C_P$ and $C_V$ are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively).

  • A
    $n = \frac{C - C_V}{C - C_P}$
  • B
    $n = \frac{C_P}{C_V}$
  • C
    $n = \frac{C - C_P}{C - C_V}$
  • D
    $n = \frac{C_P - C}{C - C_V}$
