The pressure and density of a diatomic gas $(\gamma = 7/5)$ change adiabatically from $(P, d)$ to $(P', d')$. If $\frac{d'}{d} = 32$,then $\frac{P'}{P}$ is equal to:

One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of $T \ K$ does $6R \ J$ of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is $5/3$,the final temperature of the gas will be:

$A$ gas $(\gamma = 1.3)$ is enclosed in an insulated vessel fitted with an insulating piston at a pressure of $10^5 \ N/m^2$. On suddenly pressing the piston,the volume is reduced to half the initial volume. The final pressure of the gas is:

Assertion $(A)$: When an ideal gas is compressed adiabatically,its temperature and the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase.
Reason $(R)$: The kinetic energy increases because of collisions of molecules with the moving parts of the wall.
