The relation between pressure \(p\) and volume \(V\) is given by \(p V^{1 / 4}=\) constant. If the percentage decrease in volume is \(\frac{1}{2}\), then the percentage increase in pressure is

  1. A \(-\frac{1}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{16}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{1}{8}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(p V^{1 / 4}=a\), where \(a\) is constant. \[ p=\frac{a}{V^{1 / 4}} \] \(\therefore\) Decreased volume…
