An ideal gas undergoes a quasi static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity $$C$$ remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure $$P$$ and volume $$V$$ is given by $$P{V^n} = $$ constant, then $$n$$ is given by (Here $${C_p}$$ and $${C_v}$$ are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively:

A pendulum clock loses $$12$$ $$s$$ a day if the temperature is $${40^ \circ }C$$ and gains $$4$$ $$s$$ a day if the temperature is $${20^ \circ }C.$$ The temperature at which the clock will show correct time, and the co-efficient of linear expansion $$\left( \alpha \right)$$ of the metal of the pendulum shaft are respectively :

A roller is made by joining together two cones at their vertices $$0$$. It is kept on two rails $$AB$$ and $$CD$$, which are placed asymmetrically (see figure), with its axis perpendicular to $$CD$$ and its center $$O$$ at the center of line joining $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ (see figure). It is given a light push so that it starts rolling with its center $$O$$ moving parallel to $$CD$$ in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to :

$$'n'$$ moles of an ideal gas undergoes a process $$A$$ $$ \to $$ $$B$$ as shown in the figure. The maximum temperature of the gas during the process will be :
