$A$ sample of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder. The volume of the gas is suddenly decreased. $A$ student makes the following statements to explain the change in pressure of the gas:
$I.$ The average kinetic energy of the gas atoms increases.
$II.$ The atoms of the gas hit the walls of the cylinder more frequently.
$III.$ Temperature of the gas remains unchanged.
Which of these statements is true?

In the following $P-V$ diagram, two adiabatics cut two isothermals at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The value of $\frac{V_a}{V_d}$ will be

$A$ cycle tyre bursts suddenly. This process represents an:

$A$ thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle,as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition,there is one mole of an ideal gas,with specific heat at constant volume,$C_v = 2R$. Here,$R$ is the gas constant. Initially,each side has a volume $V_0$ and temperature $T_0$. The left side has an electric heater,which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat $Q$ to the gas on the left side. As a result,the partition moves slowly towards the right,reducing the right side volume to $V_0 / 2$. Consequently,the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become $T_L$ and $T_R$,respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder,heater,and the partition.
$(1)$ The value of $\frac{T_R}{T_0}$ is
$(A)$ $\sqrt{2}$ $(B)$ $\sqrt{3}$ $(C)$ $2$ $(D)$ $3$
$(2)$ The value of $\frac{Q}{RT_0}$ is
$(A)$ $4(2\sqrt{2}+1)$ $(B)$ $4(2\sqrt{2}-1)$ $(C)$ $(5\sqrt{2}+1)$ $(D)$ $(5\sqrt{2}-1)$

If $\gamma = 2.5$ and the final volume is $\frac{1}{8}$ times the initial volume, then the final pressure $P'$ is equal to (Initial pressure $= P$).
