    Figure shows the variation in temperature $\left( {\Delta T} \right)$ with the amount of heat supplied $(Q)$ in an isobaric process corresponding to a monoatomic $(M)$, diatomic $(D)$ and a polyatomic $(P)$ gas. The initial state of all the gases are the same and the scales for the two axes coincide. Ignoring vibrational degrees of freedom, the lines $a, b$ and $c$ respectively correspond to

    A container with rigid walls is covered with perfectly insulating material. The container is divided into two parts by a partition. One part contains a gas while the other is fully evacuated (vacuum). The partition is suddenly removed. The gas rushes to fill the entire volume and comes to equilibrium after a little time. If the gas is not ideal, then
