As we learnt in

First law in isobaric process -

\Delta U= n\, C_{v}\Delta T

= n\frac{R}{\gamma -1}\Delta T
 

- wherein

\Delta Q= \Delta U+W

         = n\frac{\gamma \: R}{\gamma -1}\cdot \Delta T

\Delta Q= nC_{p}\: \Delta T

 \gamma 1 =\frac{7}{5}\rightarrow CV_{1}= \frac{R}{\gamma 1-1}= \frac{5R}{2},C_{P1}=\frac{7R}{2}

\gamma 2 =\frac{5}{3}\rightarrow CV_{2}= \frac{R}{\gamma 2-1}= \frac{3R}{2},C_{P2}=\frac{5R}{2}

 \gamma^{mixture}=\frac{C_{p}^{mix}}{C_{v}^{mix}}=\frac{n_{1}C_{p1}+n_{2}C_{p2}}{n_{1}C_{v1}+n_{2}C_{v2}}= \frac{6R}{4R}=1.5


Option 1)

7/5\;

Option 2)

\; 2/5\;

Option 3)

\; 24/16\;

Option 4)

\; 12/7
