Question
Assertion : The isothermal curves intersect each other at a certain point.
Reason : The isothermal change takes place slowly, so the isothermal curves have very little slope.

Answer

(e) As isothermal processes are very slow and so the different isothermal curveshavedifferent slopes so they cannot intersect each other.
