Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Pressure on the walls of the container is equal to the change of momentum per unit area. At constant volume, for a fixed number of moles of a gas, the pressure increases with rise in temperature due to increase in average molecular speed. This increases the change in momentum during collisions
