(c) $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}} = 2 \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{{{V_2}}}{{{V_1}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{{{V_2}}}{{{V_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\frac{1}{{\gamma - 1}}}} < \frac{1}{2}$

==> ${V_2} < \frac{{{V_1}}}{2}$
