The correct answer is: \( 12500 \mathrm{~J}, 900 \mathrm{~K} \)

Given, T=300 K, P=2.5×103 PaVi=1 m3 & Vf=3 m3, now heat added at constant pressure in terms of the molar specific heat capacity at constant pressure, 

ΔQ=nCpT2-T1

=nγRγ-1T2-T1=nγγ-1RT2-RT1=γγ-1V2-V1P

This is a monoatomic gas so the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, γ=CPCV=53

Q=5353-1×2.5×103×3-1=12500 J

Now using idea gas equation at constant pressure,

V1V2=T1T213=300T2T2=900 K
