$A$ fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius $R$ and height $L_0$. The cylinder is open at its bottom and has a small hole at its top. $A$ piston of mass $M$ is held at a distance $L$ from the top surface,as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$.
$1.$ The piston is now pulled out slowly and held at a distance $2L$ from the top. The pressure in the cylinder between its top and the piston will then be
$(A) P_0$ $(B) \frac{P_0}{2}$ $(C) \frac{P_0}{2} + \frac{Mg}{\pi R^2}$ $(D) \frac{P_0}{2} - \frac{Mg}{\pi R^2}$
$2.$ While the piston is at a distance $2L$ from the top,the hole at the top is sealed. The piston is then released,to a position where it can stay in equilibrium. In this condition,the distance of the piston from the top is
$(A) \left(\frac{2P_0 \pi R^2}{\pi R^2 P_0 + Mg}\right)(2L)$ $(B) \left(\frac{P_0 \pi R^2 - Mg}{\pi R^2 P_0}\right)(2L)$ $(C) \left(\frac{P_0 \pi R^2 + Mg}{\pi R^2 P_0}\right)(2L)$ $(D) \left(\frac{P_0 \pi R^2}{\pi R^2 P_0 - Mg}\right)(2L)$
$3.$ The piston is taken completely out of the cylinder. The hole at the top is sealed. $A$ water tank is brought below the cylinder and put in a position so that the water surface in the tank is at the same level as the top of the cylinder as shown in the figure. The density of the water is $\rho$. In equilibrium,the height $H$ of the water column in the cylinder satisfies
$(A) \rho g(L_0 - H)^2 + P_0(L_0 - H) + L_0 P_0 = 0$
$(B) \rho g(L_0 - H)^2 - P_0(L_0 - H) - L_0 P_0 = 0$
$(C) \rho g(L_0 - H)^2 + P_0(L_0 - H) - L_0 P_0 = 0$
$(D) \rho g(L_0 - H)^2 - P_0(L_0 - H) + L_0 P_0 = 0$
Give the answer for questions $1, 2$ and $3$.

Column-$I$ represents physical quantity and Column-$II$ represents formula. Match them correctly:
Column-$I$Column-$II$
$(a)$ Kinetic energy per unit mole of gas.$(i)$ $\frac{1}{2}RT$
$(b)$ Kinetic energy per one molecule of gas.$(ii)$ $\frac{3}{2}RT$
$(iii)$ $\frac{3}{2}k_BT$

For a diatomic gas,the change in internal energy at constant pressure and the change in internal energy for a unit temperature change are $U_1$ and $U_2$ respectively. Then $U_1 : U_2$ is equal to:

The speed of sound in an ideal gas at a given temperature $T$ is $v$. The rms speed of gas molecules at that temperature is $v_{\text{rms}}$. The ratio of the velocities $v$ and $v_{\text{rms}}$ for helium and oxygen gases are $X$ and $X^{\prime}$,respectively. Then,$\frac{X}{X^{\prime}}$ is equal to

One mole of an ideal diatomic gas is taken through the cycle as shown in the figure.
$1 \rightarrow 2$: isochoric process
$2 \rightarrow 3$: straight line on $P-V$ diagram
$3 \rightarrow 1$: isobaric process
The average molecular speed of the gas in the states $1, 2$ and $3$ are in the ratio
