a
${\lambda \propto V}$
The average time between the collisions of the gas molecules is nothing but the mean free path divided by the root mean square speed of the gas molecules.
$\mathrm{So}$
$\Longrightarrow\left[\text { Time }=t=\frac{\lambda}{v_{R M S}}\right]$
Now we also know that :-
$v_{R M S} \propto \sqrt{P V}$
Using the above we get :-
$\Longrightarrow t \propto V \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{P V}}$
$\Longrightarrow t \propto \sqrt{\frac{V^{2}}{P V}}$
$\Longrightarrow t \propto \sqrt{\frac{V}{P}}$
adiabatic process then $PV^{\gamma}=constant$
then $t \propto V^{\frac{\gamma+1}{2}}$
