Two thermally insulated vessels \(1\) and \(2\) are filled with air at temperatures \(\mathrm{T_1},\) \(\mathrm{T_2},\) volume \(\mathrm{V_1},\) \(\mathrm{V_2}\) and pressure \(\mathrm{P_1},\) \(\mathrm{P_2}\) respectively. If the valve joining the two vessels is opened, the temperature inside the vessel at equilibrium will be:

1. \(T_1+T_2\) 2. \(\dfrac{T_1+T_2}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{T_1T_2(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)}{P_1V_1T_2+P_2V_2T_1}\) 4. \(\dfrac{T_1T_2(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)}{P_1V_1T_1+P_2V_2T_2}\)
