At constant volume,for different diatomic gases the molar specific heat is

The molar specific heat of a gas as given from the kinetic theory is $\frac{5}{2} R$. If it is not specified whether it is $C_P$ or $C_V$,one could conclude that the molecules of the gas

$105 \, cal$ of heat is required to raise the temperature of $3 \, moles$ of an ideal gas at constant pressure from $30^{\circ} C$ to $35^{\circ} C$. The amount of heat required in calories to raise the temperature of the gas through the range ($60^{\circ} C$ to $65^{\circ} C$) at constant volume is ........ $cal$ $(\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = 1.4)$.

$Assertion :$ The ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for an ideal diatomic gas is less than that for an ideal monoatomic gas (where $C_p$ and $C_v$ have usual meaning).
$Reason :$ The atoms of a monoatomic gas have less degrees of freedom as compared to molecules of the diatomic gas.

What is the value of $\frac{R}{C_P}$ for a diatomic gas?
