Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\rho P }{ K }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\rho=\frac{M}{V}\)

\(\frac{ d \rho}{\rho}=-\frac{ dV }{ V }\)

\(K=-\frac{ P }{\frac{ d V }{ V }}\)

\(-\frac{ d V }{ V }=\frac{ P }{K}\)

\(\frac{ d \rho}{\rho}=\frac{ P }{ K } \Rightarrow d \rho=\frac{\rho P }{ K}\)
