If the pressure of an ideal gas is decreased by $10 \%$ isothermally,then its volume will

$Assertion :$ In an isothermal process,the whole of the heat supplied to the body is converted into internal energy.
$Reason :$ According to the first law of thermodynamics,$\Delta Q = \Delta U + P\Delta V$.

During the isothermal expansion,a confined ideal gas does $(-150) \ J$ of work against its surroundings. This means that

An ideal gas is trapped inside a test tube of cross-sectional area $20 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$ as shown in the figure. The gas occupies a height $L_1$ at the bottom of the tube and is separated from air at atmospheric pressure by a mercury column of mass $0.002 \, kg$. If the tube is quickly turned isothermally,upside down,the gas now occupies height $L_2$ in the tube. Find the ratio $L_2/L_1$. [Take atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 10^5 \, Nm^{-2}$ and $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$]
