As we learnt in 

Specific heat in isobaric process -

C_{p}= \left ( \frac{f}{2}+1 \right )R

\gamma^{mix}=\frac{n_{1}C_{p1}+n_{2}C_{p2}}{n_{1}C_{v1}+n_{2}C_{v2}}

 

- wherein

f is degree of freedom

 

\gamma ^{mix} = \frac{n_{1}C_{p1}+n_{2}C_{p2}}{n_{1}C_{v1}+n_{2}C_{v2}}

n_{1} = \frac{16}{4} = 4, C_{v1} = \frac{3R}{2}, C_{p1} = \frac{5R}{2}

n_{2} = \frac{16}{32} = \frac{1}{2}, C_{v2} = \frac{5R}{2}, C_{p2} = \frac{7R}{2}

\gamma ^{mix} = \frac{10R+\frac{7R}{4}}{6R+\frac{5R}{4}}

= \frac{47}{29} = 1.62
