A gas is compressed isothermally to half...

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

A

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

B

Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done

C

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