$A$ diatomic gas molecule has translational,rotational,and vibrational degrees of freedom. The ratio ${C_P}/{C_V}$ is

$Assertion:$ At a given temperature,the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure $(C_p)$ is always greater than its specific heat at constant volume $(C_v)$.
$Reason:$ When a gas is heated at constant volume,some extra heat is needed compared to that at constant pressure for doing work in expansion.

On giving an equal amount of heat at constant volume to $1 \, mol$ of a monoatomic and a diatomic gas,the rise in temperature $(\Delta T)$ is more for:
