Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's states that at constant temperature, volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.

In other words, at constant temperature, multiplication of pressure and volume of the gas is constant.

PV = k

Here 'k' = constant

From the graph attached,


(V_3,P_3) represents (0.5, 200).

0.5 × 200 = k

k = 100

For pressure 'P' = 150 kPa

150 × V = 100

V =
(100)/(150)

V = 0.67 L

Option (2) is the answer.
