Question

According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume is a constant. Hence, (A) if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure also increases proportionately. (B) if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure decreases proportionately. (C) if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure remains the same (D) if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure decreases disproportionately.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (b) if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure decreases proportionately.

Q. According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume is a constant. Hence,

if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure also increases proportionately.

if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure decreases proportionately.

if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure remains the same

if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure decreases disproportionately.

Correct answer is (b) if volume of lungs is increased, the pressure decreases proportionately.
