Q12. From the diagram above, an ideal gas can be represented by
AK
BM
CL
DN
Correct Answer: D
An ideal gas obeys Boyle's Law perfectly: PV = constant, meaning V is inversely proportional to P, giving a straight horizontal line when plotted as PV vs P. Curve N is the flat horizontal line in the diagram, representing a gas that shows no deviation from ideal behaviour across all pressures. Real gases (K, L, M) show deviations — dipping below or rising above the ideal line.
