A piece of hot copper at $100^{\circ} C$ is plunged into a pond at $30^{\circ} C$. The copper cools down to $30^{\circ} C$, while the pond being huge stays at its initial temperature. Then,
  • A
    copper loses some entropy, the pond stays at the same entropy
  • B
    copper loses some entropy and the pond gains exactly the same amount of entropy
  • C
    copper loses entropy and the pond gains more than this amount of entropy
  • D
    both copper and the pond gain in entropy

    Following figure shows on adiabatic cylindrical container of volume ${V_0}$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$ ) in two equal parts. An ideal gas $({C_P}/{C_V} = \gamma )$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in left part and gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ in right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $ x$ = displacement of the piston)
