A gas is filled in the cylinder shown in fig. The two pistons are joined by a string. If the gas is heated, the right piston will

A

Move towards left

B

Move towards right

C

Remain stationary

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As temperature of gas increases, it expands. As the cross – sectional area of right piston is more.
Hence, greater force will work on it ). ( PA F  So, piston will move towards right.
