For diatomic gas, $\mathrm{f}_1=5$ $C_{v_1}=\frac{f_1 R}{2}=\frac{5 R}{2}$ $C_{p_1}=C_v+R=\frac{5 R}{2}+R \frac{7 R}{2}=C$ For monoatomic gas, $\mathrm{f}_2=3$ $C_{v_2}=\frac{f_2 R}{2}=\frac{3 R}{2}$ Now, $\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}_2}}=\frac{\frac{7 \mathrm{R}}{2}}{\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{2}}=\frac{7}{3}$ $	herefore C_{v_2}=\frac{3 C}{7}$
