An ideal gas at $27^{\circ}\text{C}$ is compressed adiabatically to $(8/27)$ of its original volume. If $\gamma = 5/3$, then the rise in temperature of a gas is (in $\text{ K}$)

The initial pressure and volume of an ideal gas are $P_0$ and $V_0$. The final pressure of the gas when the gas is suddenly compressed to volume $\frac{V_0}{4}$ will be (Given $\gamma =$ ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume).
