$A$ gas may expand either adiabatically or isothermally. $A$ number of $P-V$ curves are drawn for the two processes over different ranges of pressure and volume. It will be found that:

  • A
    An adiabatic curve and an isothermal curve may intersect.
  • B
    Two adiabatic curves do not intersect.
  • C
    Two isothermal curves do not intersect.
  • D
    All of these.
