The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

By Boyle's law

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$
$1$ bar $\times 600dm^{3}=P_{2}\times 150\,dm^{3}$
$P_{2}=4$ bar

Gas Laws

The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

The five gas laws are:

  • Boyle’s Law, which provides a relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas.
  • Charles’s Law, which provides a relationship between the volume occupied by a gas and the absolute temperature.
  • Gay-Lussac’s Law, which provides a relationship between the pressure exerted by a gas on the walls of its container and the absolute temperature associated with the gas.
  • Avogadro’s Law, which provides a relationship between the volume occupied by a gas and the amount of gaseous substance.
  • The Combined Gas Law (or the Ideal Gas Law), which can be obtained by combining the four laws listed above.
