Choose the correct option for graphical representation of Boyle's law, which shows a graph of pressure vs. volume of a gas at different temperatures.
Detailed Solution
According to Boyle's law, $P \propto \frac{1}{V}$ at constant temperature, so each isotherm is a rectangular hyperbola.
At a given pressure, $V \propto T$, so the isotherm for the higher temperature lies farther from the axes: 600 K above 400 K above 200 K.
