Correct answer: ONLY STATEMENT (A) IS CORRECT., NONE OF THE GIVEN OPTIONS IS CORRECT.

  1. For an ideal gas, the average translational kinetic energy per molecule is Kˉ=32kT\bar K = \frac{3}{2}kTKˉ=23​kT So it depends only on temperature, not directly on pressure or volume.

  2. Now check each statement:

    (A) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases when the temperature is reduced.
    Since Kˉ∝T\bar K \propto TKˉ∝T, lowering TTT lowers average kinetic energy.
    (A) is true.

    (B) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule increases with increase in pressure at constant temperature.
    At constant temperature, Kˉ=32kT\bar K = \frac{3}{2}kTKˉ=23​kT remains unchanged. So changing pressure at constant TTT does not change average kinetic energy.
    (B) is false.

    (C) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases with increase in volume.
    Average kinetic energy does not depend directly on volume; it depends only on temperature.
    (C) is false.

    (D) Pressure of a gas increases with increase in temperature at constant pressure.
    This statement is self-contradictory: if pressure is constant, it cannot increase.
    (D) is false.

    (E) The volume of gas decreases with increase in temperature.
    By Charles' law, at constant pressure, V∝TV \propto TV∝T so volume increases with temperature, not decreases.
    (E) is false.

  3. Therefore, only statement (A) is correct.

  4. Compare with options:

  • A: (A) and (D) only → false
  • B: (A), (B) and (D) only → false
  • C: (B) and (D) only → false
  • D: (A), (B) and (E) only → false

So the correct conclusion is: none of the given options matches.

  1. Since the stored correct answer is blank, I cannot agree with any provided stored option. The physically correct answer is only (A).
