At constant temperature, the curve between p and V is

A)  straight line

B)  increasing curve

C)  straight line with slope

D)  None of the above

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

 According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure \[p\propto \frac{1}{V}\] \[pV=\]constant At constant temperature, on plotting a graph between p and V, a hyperbola curve is obtained.
