a> (7/3)R

B> (16/7)R

C> (10/3)R

D> (23/7)R


.......................................

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS (23/7) R

Cv = 4*5R/2 + 2*3R/2 +1*6R/2 /7    =16R/7
Cp = Cv + R = 16R/7 + R  =23R/7
Cv = n1Cv1 + n2Cv2 + n3Cv3  /n1 + n2 + n3

CV for hydrogen =  25R
Cv for helium =  23R
VV for water vapour =  26R=3R
(CV)mix =  4+2+14× 25R+2× 23R+1×3R =  716R
CP = CV+R
CP =  716R+R
Or, CP =  723R
