In order to increase the volume of a gas by $10 \%$ at constant temperature the pressure of the gas should be
In order to increase the volume of a gas by $10 \%$ at constant temperature the pressure of the gas should be
increased by $10 \%$
increased by $1 \%$
decreased by $1 \%$
decreased by $10 \%$
Solution
Volume is inversely proposed to pressure based on the boyle's law. So, to increase the volume of a gas by $10 \%$, the pressure of the gas should be decreased by $10 \%$. Hence, option (4) is correct.
