Answer:

The correct answer is option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic gas theory :

  • Volume occupied by the particle is negligible in comparison to the volume occupied by the gas.
  • Particles of an ideal gas do not exert attractive force on each other and on the walls of the containers.
  • Motion of these particle always remain constant and moves in a straight line.
  • Collision between two gas particles is an elastic that is kinetic energy of the particle remains conserved.
  • Kinetic energy of the gas particles directly depends upon on the absolute temperature.
