correct option: b
Since the temperature of the air is to remain Constant => P1V1 = P2V2
∴ 75 x 30 = (75 + 15) x V2
75 x 30 = 90 x V2
| => V2 = | 75 x 30 |
| _90 |
| = | 2250 |
| _90 |
= 25cm2

correct option: d
The frequency f = V/λ,
Where λ = wavelength
From the above, the distance OA = one wavelength; AB = one wave length and BC = one wavelength.
=> OC = 3 wavelength = 3λ
∴3λ = 0.3M
λ = 0.3/3
= 0.1m
∴ f = V/λ = (3.0 x 108) / 0.1
= 3.0 x 109Hz
