(A): Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston. If the volume after compression is half the original volume the final pressure is twice the initial pressure.
(R): Suddenly compressed process is isobaric process.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Both (A) and (R) are false

Option D is correct because the compression is adiabatic, not isobaric, and the final pressure is not twice the initial pressure for an adiabatic process.
