Two chambers of different volumes, one containing m1g of a gas at pressure P1 and other containing m2g of the same gas at pressure P2 are joined to each other. If the temperature of the gas remains constant, the common pressure reached is:

1.  m1P1+m2P2m1+m2

2.  m1P2+m2P1m1+m2

3.  m1P2+P1+P2m21+m2

4.  m1+m2P1P2m1P2+m2P1

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. \(\dfrac{T_1T_2(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)}{P_1V_1T_1+P_2V_2T_2}\)
