# GATE Mechanical 2014 Set 3 | Question: 41

A certain amount of an ideal gas is initially at a pressure $p_1$ and temperature $T_1$. First, it undergoes a constant pressure process $1$-$2$ such that $T_2$ = $3T_1$/$4$. Then, it undergoes a constant volume process $2$-$3$ such that $T_3$ = $T_1$/$2$. The ratio of the final volume to the initial volume of the ideal gas is

1. $0.25$
2. $0.75$
3. $1.0$
4. $1.5$
