A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process untill its volume is again reduced to half. Then

A

Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.

B

Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.

C

Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.

D

Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
