Answer:
Correct Answer: 43. (c)
Solution:
Equation of state $p(V-b)=R T$ indicates absence of intermolecular attraction or repulsion, hence intermolecular potential remains constant on increasing ’ $\pi$ ’ in the beginning. As the molecules come very close, their electronic and nuclear repulsion increases abruptly.
