In thermodynamic processes which of the following statements is not true ?
- AIn an isochoric process pressure remains constant.
- BIn an isothermal process the temperature remains constant.
- CIn an adiabatic process PV = constant.
- DIn an adiabatic process the system is insulated from the surroundings.

Correct answer: A
The only statement which is not true is statement (a). A process in which the pressure remains constant is called isobaric process and not isochoric as in isochoric process the volume remains constant.
