Answer:

Correct Answer: 51. (b)

Solution:

Statement I is true.

$ d q =d E+p _{\text {ext }} d V=0 $

$\Delta T =0 $

$\therefore d E =0 ; \quad p _{\text {ext }}=0 $

$\therefore \quad p _{\text {ext }} d V =0$

Statement II is true. According to kinetic theory of gases, volume occupied by molecules of ideal gas is zero.

However, Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
