  1. A

    Cp−Cv=R/28\mathrm{C_p-C_v=R / 28}Cp​−Cv​=R/28

  2. B

    Cp−Cv=R/14\mathrm{C_p-C_v=R / 14}Cp​−Cv​=R/14

  3. C

    Cp−Cv=R\mathrm{C_p-C_v=R}Cp​−Cv​=R

  4. D

    Cp−Cv=28R\mathrm{C_p-C_v=28 R}Cp​−Cv​=28R

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3+T_1=2T_2$ and $T_2-T_1=\Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is ______.

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure $(P)$ and volume $(V)$ as $P = P_o\left(1 + \left(\dfrac{V_o}{V}\right)^2\right)^{-1}$, where $P_o$ and $V_o$ are constants. If two samples $A$ and $B$ (two moles each) with initial volumes $V_o$ and $3V_o$ respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference at the temperatures of these samples, $T_B - T_A$ is _____. ($R = $ gas constant)
