As we learnt in

Specific heat capacity at constant pressure -

C_{p}= C_{v}+R

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

- wherein

f = degree of freedom

R= Universal gas constant

 

 Work done in isobaric process =nR\Delta T

Heat supplied =nC_{p} \Delta T

    =nR\left(\frac{f}{2}+1 \right )\Delta T=\frac{5}{2}(nR\Delta T)

Ratio =\frac{nR\Delta T}{\frac{5}{2}(nR\Delta T)}=\frac{2}{5}

Correct option is 4.


Option 1)

\frac{3}{5}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 2)

\frac{2}{3}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

\frac{3}{2}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)
