Q. 5 Consider two containers A and B containing identical gases at the same pressure, volume and temperature. The gas in container A is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container B is compressed to half of its original value adiabatically. The ratio of the final pressure of gas in B to that of gas in A is:

a. $2^{γ - 1}$

b. ${(\frac{1}{2})}^{γ - 1}$
