Initially,a gas of diatomic molecules is contained in a cylinder of volume $V_{1}$ at a pressure $P_{1}$ and temperature $250\, K$. Assuming that $25\%$ of the molecules get dissociated,causing a change in the number of moles. The pressure of the resulting gas at temperature $2000\, K$,when contained in a volume $2V_{1}$,is given by $P_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}$ is:

The temperature $(T)$ of one mole of an ideal gas varies with its volume $(V)$ as $T = -\alpha V^3 + \beta V^2$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. The maximum pressure of the gas during this process is ............
