Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Since PVY= constant is valid only for reversible process but since as free expansion is irreversible because it is working on a cycle by taking heat from a single reservoir and producing net expansion work when considered reversible and thus violating Kelvin-planck statement when considered reversible hence we can conclude free expansion is an irreversible process. And hence PVY= constant can’t be valid.
