As benzyl carbocation is stable by resonance and tertiary carbocation is stable by Hyperconjugation. And as resonance is more effective than other. So benzyl carbocation is more stable then tertiary carbocation. For isobaric process and n = 1. dQ = 5/2 RdT + RdT = 7/2RdT. And dW = RdT. So ratio of dQ/dT is 7/2.Hope it clears. If still u have doubts then please clarify. If u like answer then please approve the answer.
