Pressure versus volume graph for a real gas and an ideal gas are shown in the figure. Answer the following questions on the basis of this graph:
$(i)$ Interpret the behaviour of real gas with respect to ideal gas at low pressure.
$(ii)$ Interpret the behaviour of real gas with respect to ideal gas at high pressure.
$(iii)$ Mark the pressure and volume by drawing a line at the point where real gas behaves as an ideal gas.

Identify the correct graph for an ideal gas ($y$-axis $= Z$; $x$-axis $= p$).

Under what conditions do real gases behave as ideal gases?

For real gases,the van der Waals equation is written as $\left( p + \frac{a n^2}{V^2} \right) (V - nb) = nRT$,where $a$ and $b$ are van der Waals constants. Two sets of gases are:
$(I)$ $O_2, CO_2, H_2, He$
$(II)$ $CH_4, O_2, H_2$
The gases given in set-$I$ are arranged in increasing order of $b$,and the gases given in set-$II$ are arranged in decreasing order of $a$. Select the correct order from the following:

Under which of the following conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?
