Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
p\(_{1}\) = P\(_{0}\), V\(_{1}\) = V\(_{0}\), V\(_{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)V\(_{0}\) P\(_{2}\) = ?
P\(_{1}\)V\(_{1}\) = P\(_{2}\)V\(_{2}\)
P\(_{2}\) = \(\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{1}}\)
= \(\frac{\not P_{o}V_{o}}{\frac{1}{5}P_{o}}\) = 5\(\not P_{o}\)
p\(_{1}\) = P\(_{0}\), V\(_{1}\) = V\(_{0}\), V\(_{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)V\(_{0}\) P\(_{2}\) = ?
P\(_{1}\)V\(_{1}\) = P\(_{2}\)V\(_{2}\)
P\(_{2}\) = \(\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{1}}\)
= \(\frac{\not P_{o}V_{o}}{\frac{1}{5}P_{o}}\) = 5\(\not P_{o}\)
