Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B =-\frac{ dP }{ dv / v }\)

\(Pv ^3= a\)

Differentiating w.r.t to pressure

\(v^3+P 3 v^2 \frac{d v}{d P}=0\)

\(v=-3 \frac{P d v}{d P}=0\)

\(v=-3 \frac{P d v}{d P}\)

\(\frac{d P . v}{d v}=-3 P\)

\(B=-\left(\frac{d P v}{d v}\right)=-(-3 P)=3 P\)
