We have:
V = 1 litre
T = 320K
a = 3.592
b = 0.0427
n = 5
Now, According to Van der Waals equation, we have:

\left ( P+\frac{an^2}{V^2} \right )(V-nb)=nRT

\left ( P+\frac{(5)^2\times 3.592}{(1)^2} \right )(1-5\times 0.0427)=5\times 0.0821 \times 320

\Rightarrow \mathrm{ P = 77.218\ atm }

Thus, the pressure is 77.218 atm when the gas shows real gas behaviour.

Now, if the gas behaves like ideal gas, then, we know:

\mathrm{PV = nRT}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{P \times 1 = 5 \times 0.0821 \times 320}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{P = 131.36 \ atm}

Thus, the pressure is 131.36 atm when the gas behaves ideally.
Therefore, Option(4) is correct
