A gas cylinder containing cooking gas can withsand a pressure of 14.9 atmosphere. The pressure gauge of the cylinder indicates 12 atmosphere at `27^(@)C`. Due to a sudden fire in the building the temperature starts rising. At what temperature will the cylinder explode ?

Answer

C

Explanation

`P_(1)`=12 atm, `T_(1)`=300 K, `P_(2)`=14.9 atm, `T_(2)`=?
As volume of the cylinder is constant, `(P_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2))/(T_(2))`
