Three samples $X, Y$,and $Z$ of the same gas have equal volumes and temperatures. The volume of each sample is doubled. The process is isothermal for $X$,adiabatic for $Y$,and isobaric for $Z$. If the final pressures are equal for the three samples,find the ratio of the initial pressures. (Take adiabatic exponent $\gamma = 3/2$)

  • A
    $1: \sqrt{2}: 2$
  • B
    $2: 2\sqrt{2}: 1$
  • C
    $3: 3\sqrt{3}: 1$
  • D
    $1: 2\sqrt{2}: 2$
