The correct answer is: 200 K
As pressure and volume remains constant,
$\begin{aligned} n_1 T_1 & =n_2 T_2 \\ n_1 & =\frac{0.4}{4}=0.1, T_1=T \mathrm{~K} \\ n_2 & =\frac{0.40-0.08}{4}=0.08, T_2=(T+50) \mathrm{K}\end{aligned}$
On putting the values,
$\begin{array}{ll} & 0.1 \times T=0.08 \times(T+50) \\ \text { or } & 0.1 \mathrm{~T}=0.08 T=4 \text { or } 0.1 \mathrm{~T}-0.08 \mathrm{~T}=4 \\ \text { or } & 0.02 T=4 \text { or } T=200 \mathrm{~K}\end{array}$
