The correct answer is: 128

Given,

Final density of diatomic gas is ρf=32nρi

Final pressure is Pf=nPi

In adiabatic process, equation of state is given by,

PVγ=constant  ...1

Where, V is the volume, P is the pressure and γ=75 is the ratio of specific heat of diatomic gas

Pmργ=constant  ...2, As V=mρ

and mass is constant, then the pressure is given by

Pργ

PfPi=ρfρiγ

nPiPi=32ρiρi7/5=(32)7/5

 n=27=128
